The Summer Cooling Program is set to begin in the next few weeks, with a definite date yet to be announced. During this time, funding is provided by the government to ensure cooling assistance for eligible households.
Current participants in the Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP) are ineligible for cooling assistance.
This program is targeted to at-risk households, defined as seniors, persons with disabilities, families with children less than 60 months of age as of the date of the application, and those with medical conditions that would be aggravated by extreme heat.
At Arab American Family Services, we will be assisting with the application process for those who qualify.
In order to reapply, please bring proof of citizenship, Social Security numbers for everyone in the household, individual income statements for everyone in the household, as well as a current electric bill.
Again, the program has not began or been announced yet. When a date is determined, feel free to make an appointment for assistance. Walk-ins are also welcome.
