Local residents seeking help with home heating and cooling costs can access relief through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), administered across the region by the Lake Cumberland Community Action Agency (LCCAA).

The program features two main avenues of support: a Subsidy Component, which provides direct payments toward electric, gas, or bulk fuel bills during specific enrollment windows, and a Crisis Component, which offers emergency relief for households facing disconnect notices, critically low fuel levels, or extreme weather conditions.

Applications are handled locally through outreach offices in each county:
