Northshore Coalition for Fair Housing Providing Assistance for LIHEAP
Greetings:
The time to apply for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) has begun. LIHEAP is a program that helps low-income families pay their heating bills through a grant that offers assistance in the form of cash, sent directly to the utility company or a crisis grant for households in immediate danger of being without heat.
On November 8, 2012, the Northside Coalition for Fair Housing will be hosting an event to assist families in completing the LIHEAP applications. The event will take place at the Letter Carriers Hall, located at 82 California Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15212 from 10:30AM to 1:30PM.
Please bring the following items:
- Names, birthdates and social security numbers for all household members.
- Copy of your gas or electric bill.
- Proof of income for all household members:
- Wages—You must provide 30 days of paystubs from the previous month
- Award letter from unemployment, workers comp, social security or SSI.

BEWARE of this program. A company called RHA Associates and another one called Proteus are going around doing illegal repairs in people's homes through this program. They sent a guy covered by another guy's plumbing contractor's license to fix a heating valve in my home and left us with a carbon monoxide leak for 4 months. Two of our dogs died and I'm left with daily headaches and tinnitis from it - my doctor says I just have to get used to it... DON'T let these peopleinto your home. It may kill you.
