The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is seeking public comment on the proposed Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) block grant plan, which outlines how federal LIHWAP block grant funds will be spent in North Carolina in the coming state fiscal year.
LIHWAP provides assistance to low income households with their water and wastewater bills. States are given broad latitude under block grant funding to design and operate their own programs, under certain restrictions.
The plan may be reviewed through Aug. 4, 2021 at the following locations:
* Granville County Department of Social Services web pages (click here.)
* Online on the Division of Social Services website (click here to view.)
Any water or wastewater vendor interested in signing a vendor agreement to accept LIHWAP funds on behalf of customers, please contact Jasmyne Simmons at jasmyne.Simmons@dhhs.nc.gov.
Written comments will be accepted in writing no later than Thursday, Aug. 5, 2021 via:
* Any agency where the plan is displayed, or
* Mail, postmarked no later than Thursday, Aug. 5, 2021 to:
