The Programs listed below operate at Darden Center in Opelika, Alabama, each Monday and Wednesday and at Boykin Center in Auburn, Alabama, each Tuesday and Thursday. Funds for most of the programs are limited and therefore are not available at all times during the year. The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps Lee County residents who have a crisis caused by an inability to pay their utility bills. Families may receive a grant paid directly to the utility company. Assistance is limited and income requirements must be met. The Centsable Energy Program, funded through the Alabama Business Charitable Trust Fund, an Alabama Power Foundation, offers energy counseling for participants with limited incomes so that they can learn to be more energy efficient and reduce power bills. In addition, the Centsable Energy Program provides services to supplement LIHEAP. The Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) will help pay one month's rent, mortgage, or utility bill to help keep a person from being evicted. Participants in each program above must meet income and other guidelines. For information about any of the above programs, or for an appointment call (334) 821-8336 and speak with the receptionist. |
