Welcome to your Louisville Metro Office of Resilience and Community Services Appointment Scheduler

And for the LIHWAP program, there are two components:  The Crisis and Subsidy components.

Income eligible applications with proof of arrearage, payment plan, or disconnect notice for water and/or wastewater bill may apply for the Crisis component.  And if your Water bill is included in your rent, please listen closely to the list of documentations required. And all Income eligible residents may apply for the Subsidy component regardless of the status of their utility bill.  Applicants will be assessed for both of these components.

LIHWAP will operate from now through June 1, 2022 or until funds are depleted.

On the day of your appointment, drop off your application and documentation in a drop box at the site you select anytime between 9 a.m. to noon, or 1 – 4 p.m.  You WILL NOT NEED to wait at the site but within 72 hours a staff member will contact you by phone to let you know the status of your application.  If you are unable to drop off your documentation on the day of your appointment, you will have to reschedule your appointment.

Gather the required documentation – which is listed in more detail in this recording – and place in an envelope in the drop box.  Copies of the required documentation is preferred.

To continue, you will need paper and pen, your LG&E number if you are an LG&E customer, the last four numbers of your social security number, and date of birth ready to schedule an appointment.

Eligibility for all programs is subject to program calendars, fund availability, appointment availability, verifiable household income and family size.  Clients are served on a first-come, first-served basis.

Our staff would also like to remind you about many easy tips that can save money by saving energy like sealing leaks and switching to a smart thermostat.  Check out louisivlleky.gov/LIHEAP for more info.
