The Department of Human Services regrets to inform the public of the cancellation of the Energy Crisis Assistance Program (ECAP) due to federal and local budgetary constraints.
Available funding to maintain the service has been expended. Utility and gas bills will be accepted from current ECAP clients until May 9th.
ECAP assists elderly and disabled persons who meet low-income eligibility requirements with payment of their electrical and gas bills.
The department apologizes for any inconvenience.
