Funding available to help customers manage winter heating costs

LIHEAP is a federally funded program that provides financial assistance with home energy bills for eligible households.

LEXINGTON, Ky.(WTVQ/COLUMBIA GAS) – Funding is now available to help Columbia Gas families manage their heating costs through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP.

LIHEAP is a federally funded program that provides financial assistance with home energy bills for eligible households.

“This funding helps our most vulnerable customers manage their winter heating costs,” said President & COO Kimra Cole.

“So many of the households we serve have occupants that are children, seniors or those with disabilities, and we need to
be advocates for them. It is crucial that we provide customers with the means to pay their energy bills, because no one
should have to spend the cold winter months without heat. Columbia Gas wants our customers to be safe and warm
through this heating season.”

Household income must be at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty guidelines to qualify for LIHEAP.
Customers can visit benefits.gov to find out if they qualify or visit a local Community Action Agency or capky.org/network to apply.

In addition to federal funding, other assistance programs also are available for Columbia Gas customers. For a complete
