NECAC is advising that the summer utility assistance season comes to an end Sept. 30.
The agency has more than $1.2 million available for the program and is accepting applications. The Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP) pays up to $600 toward disconnect notices for any heating or cooling energy source. Applications are being accepted online at www.necac.org or in person at NECAC Service Centers. People may also call 573-324-0120. Income limits do apply and applicants must have received a shut-off notice.
The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and is distributed through the Missouri Department of Social Services, which then contracts with NECAC and other Community Action Agencies in Missouri to administer the service. Payments are sent directly to utility companies.
Counties covered are Lewis, Lincoln, Macon, Marion, Monroe, Montgomery, Pike, Ralls, Randolph. St. Charles, Shelby and Warren.
