Kentucky LIHEAP Summer Subsidy Cooling Component August 3 – September 11, 2026

FRANKFORT, Ky. (July 28, 2026): From August 3 – September 11, 2026, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Summer Subsidy Cooling Component will accept applications on a first-come, first-served basis, or until funds are depleted, for a one-time electric benefit. Interested households should contact the Community Action Agency serving their county of residence to determine eligibility and complete the application process.

Households must meet eligibility requirements, including household income of up to and including 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines to receive benefits. Benefits are paid directly to the household’s electric vendor.

Households may call 800-456-3452 or visit www.capky.org/network to locate the office serving their county.

All applicants are required to provide the following documentation at the time of application:

  • Proof of Social Security Number or Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) for each member of the household.
  • Proof of income for all household members from the preceding month.
  • Most current electric bill, a statement from your landlord if electric is included in your rent, or a statement from the utility company if you participate in a Pre-Pay Electric Program.
  • The account number and name on the account for main heating fuel sources and electric bill.

LIHEAP Summer Subsidy does not require a disconnect notice, a past due bill, or eviction notice. The Subsidy benefit may be applied as a credit to the household’s account. Assistance received during previous LIHEAP components does not affect household eligibility.

Community Action Kentucky administers the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) in partnership with the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, which receives funding as a pass-through block grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
