Energy Assistance
In Minnesota, LSS Energy Assistance serves residents of Crow Wing County. Energy Assistance, funded by the State of Minnesota, provides an important resource to help income-eligible households manage their utility bills.
We can help when household income doesn't keep pace with rising costs, when families are facing crises that interfere with their ability to afford their utilities-such as a sudden loss of income-and when individuals or families are living on a fixed income that doesn't allow them to meet their monthly obligations.
Energy Assistance can help you manage your utilities by:
- Authorizing a primary grant for the heating season
- Helping you manage an unexpected utility crisis
- Setting up a Reasonable Payment Plan and helping you negotiate with your utility vendor
- Providing financial assistance for furnace repair or replacement
- Providing referrals to Weatherization services
- Providing referrals to other community-based organizations
Eligibility: Homeowners and renters are eligible, and all fuel types qualify, even self-cut wood. Eligibility is determined via a written application. The eligibility period is October through May of each year.
Households that have been on the program automatically receive a new application in the fall. Please see Application link on this web page.
