- Households with a member age 60 and above (must be responsible for their own heating expense); OR
- Persons disabled and receiving services through the Division of Aging and Adult Services.
Applications will be taken at the Department of Social Services from Dec. 1 through Dec. 31.
For added convenience, Carolyn Trappiel, DSS Income Maintenance Supervisor, will also be on site at the following locations to accept applications:

Dec. 10 – South Granville Senior Center in Creedmoor, beginning at 9 a.m.;

Payments will be made directly to the heating provider. Every household seeking assistance must complete an application for LIEHP. Applicants should bring identification; Social Security numbers for everyone in the home; proof of income for the prior month; a heating bill with account number included; and a bank statement.
