Coastal Plain Area Economic Opportunity Authority, Inc. — the designated Community Action Agency (Valdosta), delivered under Georgia DFCS
Who it's for
The Coastal Plain Area Economic Opportunity Authority (Coastal Plain Area EOA), the Community Action Agency in Valdosta, delivers the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for Brooks County. LIHEAP makes a payment toward a household's primary heating or cooling bill for income-eligible households, with crisis help when a shutoff is imminent. Households qualify with income at or below 60% of the state median income; households where every member is 65 or older or homebound are a priority and may apply early each season. Make an appointment with Coastal Plain Area EOA at 229-242-8814.
LIHEAP through Coastal Plain Area EOA is income-tested at or below 60% of the state median income and is first-come, first-served until seasonal funds are exhausted, so this shows as a may-qualify result. Households where everyone is 65+ or homebound may apply early each season.
