(WDNG) - Low-income families in the area will have access to help with home energy bills thanks to millions of dollars in grant money. Gov. Robert Bentley on Monday announced grants totaling $39.3 million will be used for 22 community action agencies across Alabama to provide temporary assistance with electric and gas bills.
The Community Action Agency of Talladega, Clay, Randolph, Calhoun and Cleburne Counties will receive more than $1.8 million to assist low-income residents in the local five-county area. Bentley said the grants are being made available because “paying for high home heating bills during the winter can be a significant challenge for low-income families or elderly residents living on extremely limited budgets.”
According to Monday’s release, the money is being made available by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Once an application for assistance is approved, payments are made directly to utility companies on behalf of the resident. For more information about home energy assistance, contact the local Community Action Agency at 256.362.6611.
