How to apply for Harrison County Energy Assistance Program (EAP) (Harrison County)

Who it's for

The Indiana Energy Assistance Program (EAP) pays a one-time credit toward the heat and electric bill and protects a household from winter disconnection. In Harrison County, EAP applications go to Lincoln Hills Development Corporation in Tell City, the local service provider IHCDA assigns to the county. Community Action of Southern Indiana is still the Community Action and weatherization agency here, but it no longer takes EAP applications. Call 800-467-1435, extension 275. The benefit is paid once per November-to-April heating season, for renters and homeowners alike.

What you'll need

• Proof of all household income (past 30-90 days)
