Audubon Area Community Services, Inc. will offer Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) services to eligible clients beginning November 1, 2021 in Daviess, Hancock, Henderson, McLean, Ohio, Union, and Webster counties. In preparation, the agency is seeking additional vendors for participation to represent all various sources of fuel, i.e. electric, natural gas, coal, wood, propane, or kerosene.

The vendor selection process, while not based on the lowest bid, is explained in the vendor packet which must be completed by all vendors. Vendors that participated in the 2020-2021 LIHEAP components will receive a packet in the mail to update records for participation this year. For more information on LIHEAP or to request a vendor packet, please contact Stacey Melton, LIHEAP Manager, Audubon Area Community Services, Inc., 1800 West Fourth Street, Owensboro, 270-686-1662 or smeltonr@audubon-area.com. This project is funded, in part, under a contract with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services with funds from the Community Services Block Grant Act of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
