STATEHOUSE (Oct. 22, 2009) - State Sen. Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn) said low-income households can get help heating their homes this winter by applying to the state's Energy Assistance Program.

Kruse said the program, managed by the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority, offers low-income households financial assistance to continue utility services during the winter heating season.

"This program is implemented throughout the state by Community Action agencies," Kruse said. "Outreach offices operated by these agencies are located in every county and Hoosiers can contact these offices with questions regarding how the program works and the application process."

Kruse said the energy assistance program has provided valuable home heating assistance to low-income families for years in northeast Indiana and is pleased to know that more money is available this year to help so many Hoosiers in need.
