The Department of Health and Human Resources is offering help for those struggling to pay the cost of heating bills. The Low Income Energy Assistance Program helps to pay the bills of heating cost for eligible households.

The Southwestern Community Action Council is hosting the application seminars from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 22 to Feb. 1 at several locations in Cabell County. Those locations include: Southwestern Community Action Council, Guyandotte Public Library, Goodwill and Scott Community Center in Huntington Hamlin Public Library, Hamlin Branchland Public Library, Branchland Alum Creek Public Library, Alum Creek For more information, call Southwestern Community Action Council at (304) 525-5151. The Department of Health and Human Resources will start taking accept applications for the Low Income Energy Assistance Program this week.

Applications are available at local DHHR offices, community action agencies and senior centers operated by any Area Agency on Aging. They're also available online at www.wvinroads.org.
