How to apply for Community Council of South Central Texas (CCSCT) — CEAP Energy Assistance (Maverick County)

Who it's for

Maverick County's energy bill help (CEAP) is assigned by TDHCA to Community Council of South Central Texas (CCSCT). CEAP pays toward electric, natural gas and propane bills based on the past 12 months of bills, helps in an energy crisis (lost or threatened service during extreme summer or winter weather, a declared disaster, or a life-threatening situation), and can repair heating and cooling equipment. Priority goes to households with the least income and highest energy costs, and to people age 60 and over, people with disabilities and families with children age 5 or under. Household income must be at or below 150% of the federal poverty guidelines; the yearly allocation limit is $1,800 (0-50% FPL), $1,500 (51-75% FPL) or $1,200 (76-150% FPL). Call CCSCT at 830-303-4376 (main office, Seguin) or 830-767-2019 (CEAP office), or the TDHCA CEAP line at 800-525-0657. South Texas heat makes cooling-crisis help especially relevant.

What you'll need

• Proof of all household income
• Current energy bill and any past-due notices
• Photo identification
• Proof of Maverick County residency
