Tough economic times have affected many of our families. Community Action of Minneapolis has a federal Energy Assistance program that is funded through the Minnesota Department of Commerce to provide help with gas or electric bills. They will use your past 3 months of household income and or last year’s federal tax forms for self-employment income to make eligibility determinations. In addition, your eligibility status will allow you to be referred to other programs designed to help with your housing and family needs, including:
- Free home energy audit, free replacement compact florescent bulbs
- Replacement and recycling of old refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners
- Weatherization program
Application deadline is May 31 for this year’s programs. More information, including income guidelines, can be downloaded here (2 pg Word document.) Complete information and application forms can be found at Community Action of Minneapolis’ website
