More info is available on their website.
The Upper East Tennessee Human Development Agency (UETHDA) has announced its plans to provide essential energy assistance outreach for the month of January. This initiative aims to support low-income households in managing their heating costs during the cold winter months. UETHDA understands the financial strain that energy expenses can impose, especially in the colder season, and is committed to helping families stay warm.
Starting January 3, 2024, UETHDA will begin accepting applications for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Those eligible can receive assistance to cover heating bills, ensuring that families do not have to choose between heating their homes and meeting other essential needs. The program is designed to target vulnerable populations, including the elderly, disabled individuals, and families with young children.
To facilitate accessibility, UETHDA will conduct outreach events in various communities throughout the region. These events will offer residents the opportunity to apply for assistance in person, ask questions, and receive guidance on the application process. UETHDA encourages all eligible individuals and families to take advantage of this valuable service.
It's important for applicants to gather necessary documentation before attending the outreach events. Required documents include proof of income, Social Security numbers for all household members, and recent energy bills. Having these documents ready will help streamline the application process and ensure that assistance can be provided swiftly.
In addition to LIHEAP, UETHDA offers various programs aimed at improving the overall well-being of the community, including educational resources and financial literacy workshops. By providing energy assistance and additional support, UETHDA is working to empower residents, helping them to achieve greater financial stability.
For more information about the upcoming outreach events or to learn more about UETHDA’s services, residents are encouraged to visit their official website or contact their local office. With the right support, families can navigate the challenges of winter more comfortably and securely.
