CABARRUS COUNTY <br /> 1792 <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> REGULAR MEETING <br /> AUGUST 21 , 2017 <br /> 6:30 P.M. <br /> AGENDA CATEGORY: <br /> Consent Agenda <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> Human Services - Energy Programs Outreach Plan <br /> BRIEF SUMMARY: <br /> Each year, the Cabarrus County Department of Human Services is <br /> required to submit an Energy Programs Outreach Plan to the State <br /> detailing the strategies the agency will use in promoting the two major <br /> energy programs, Crisis Intervention Program (CIP) and Low Income <br /> Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP). The agency has established strong <br /> working relationships with local energy providers, community agencies, <br /> and residential living centers to help promote and disseminate information <br /> to potential applicants for these services. <br /> The energy programs are intended to assist low income elderly, disabled, <br /> children, and families with financial assistance with energy costs, <br /> especially for those households that are in a crisis situation or facing <br /> serious health issues. Both programs are means tested with specific <br /> eligibility criteria that must be met, including any and all required <br /> supporting documentation from the applicant. <br /> The Department will conduct several outreach events, including on-site <br /> applications for the LIEAP program that will help assist potential <br /> homebound elderly applicants. <br /> REQUESTED ACTION: <br /> Motion to approve the Energy Program Outreach Plan for submission to <br /> the State, including a letter of support for the energy programs from the <br /> governing board. <br /> F-9 Page 147 <br />
