The amount budgeted is based on estimates from the state. The state decided to revert funds, for this fiscal year, from some counties and send this funding to other counties. This was based on a survey completed by all counties about the usage of the funds, to date. This energy assistance program assists low income persons with heating or cooling related crises. The CIP program is part of the Low -Income Home Energy Assistance Program block grant. Households apply for the benefits at their local social services agency. Each county receives an allocation to fund the CIP program based on the poverty level in the county and the county food and nutrition services caseload numbers. Counties have the option to set an annual minimum allowable assistance amount up to a maximum of $600. Payment amounts vary based on the crisis and the amount needed to alleviate the energy crisis. The program funds the CIP benefit payments and is intended to cover all administrative costs. BA 22-062 The Division of Aging and Adult Services has allocated American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 funding to an Adult Protective Services (APS) Essential Services Fund. This funding allows county departments of social services to provide essential services to adults for whom the need for protective services has been substantiated. The fund is intended to assist county departments of social services in addressing identified protective services needs and mobilizing protective services where limited county funding and limited local resources may be a barrier. These essential services include the provision of medical care for physical and mental health, assistance in personal hygiene, assistance with obtaining appropriate food, clothing, seeking and providing heated and ventilated shelter, providing for protection from health and safety hazards, and protection from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. These funds will assist adults to age in place, eliminating unnecessary institutionalization and promoting opportunities to return to a community -based setting when possible. No county match is required. BA 22-063 budgets additional monies received for the Share the Warmth program. Piedmont Natural Gas's (PNG) Share the Warmth program assists low income PNG customers in a heating crisis. Share the Warmth is funded 100% with contributions from PNG customers, employees and corporate donations. Allocations are made only to counties that have PNG residential customers and are determined by PNG based on the number of PNG residential customers in 16 counties. The maximum benefit per eligible household is $200 per state fiscal year. Funds remaining at the end of the fiscal year are carried forward to the next state fiscal year. There is no county match required. BA 22-065 The Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) is a federally funded program that provides emergency assistance to low income households to prevent disconnection or provide assistance with the reconnection of drinking water and wastewater services. The Department of Social Services has received an additional allocation of these funds from the state. LIHWAP assistance will be made available to households based on a priority group system. Households will be categorically eligible if they: 1. Are currently receiving Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) benefits; 2. Are currently receiving Work First benefits; and 3. Received Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) funds within the last 12 months. If the household is not categorically eligible, the household's countable income must be equal to or less than 150% of the current poverty level during the base period. To lessen the hardship on those households that have already lost water services or are in jeopardy of losing water services, groups 1 and 2 will be served first. If funds are available, group 3 will be served after groups 1 and 2 are completed. The classification of groups are as follows: Group 1 consists of households that have had water services disconnected; Group 2 consists of households that are in jeopardy of water services being disconnected, unless action is taken to prevent the disconnect; and Group 3 consists of households that have current water services bills and need assistance to maintain service. There is no county match required. BA 22-066 budgets contributions received from a community partner for Cape Fear Public Utility Authority's (CFPUA) Assistance Program which assists citizens with past due accounts to avoid disruption of services. The program is 100% funded by community partner contributions along with contributions from the city and county. The maximum benefit per eligible household is $500 per fiscal year. These funds may not be used for deposits. Eligibilty is based on need and funds available. Funds remaining at the end of the fiscal year are carried forward to the next fiscal year.
