Dade Suspends LIHEAP Energy Assistance Program

MIAMI (CBS4) ― The Miami-Dade agency that helps the needy pay their power bills has announced they have temporarily suspended the program.

Friday the Miami-Dade Community Action Agency's (CAA) Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) said it will stop accepting applications for assistance with electricity and gas bills on November 2, 2009.

Officials cite an overwhelming amount of applications as the cause for the temporary suspension of the program. They have not announced when the suspension will be lifted. Once they process all the applications they will determine how many more customers they will be able to help.

Customers that are in imminent danger of having their electrical services disconnected will be served through the Care to Share Program, at the CAA Neighborhood Enrichment Centers.

For additional information about LIHEAP you can call: (786) 469-4600.
