The Energy Assistance Program is designed to assist low-income families with the high cost of home energy. The Program heating season begins in November, and Western Indiana Community Action Agency's Energy Assistance Program provides service to over 4,000 households each year. Offices in Clay, Putnam, and Vigo counties are open to take applications for assistance from any income-eligible individual or household. In addition to the heating program, the Energy Assistance Program offers a Summer-Fill program for bulk fuel users, and a Summer Cooling Program as funds are available. Household income guidelines are based on 125% of the Federal poverty guidelines.

The Weatherization Program is designed to insulate and tighten up homes of the low-income in an effort to reduce heating costs and improve the overall comfort of the home. The program provides services to both the homeowner and renters, and there is no cost to either the homeowner, landlord, or tenant for services provided. Thorough inspection of furnaces, gas water heaters, and other gas appliances are performed as well as a general inspection by our Energy Auditor prior to services being provided. Furnace replacement is provided when cracked heat exchangers are detected.  Household income guidelines are based on 125% of the Federal poverty guidelines.
