Help for Water Bills, Eviction Prevention

Special programs for those impacted by the COVID-19 crisis continue at Lorain County Community Action Agency.

Funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) has enhanced some programs and allowed LCCAA to create new programs.

Eviction Prevention

If you have been unable to pay your rent because of COVID-19, contact our partner Lorain County Urban League.

This program will help protect your rights and negotiate with your landlord. You must have a written lease and your rent must have been current before the pandemic. Rent assistance may be part of the process.

Contact the Urban League at 440323-3364 or outreach@lcul.org.

Water Bill Assistance

LCCAA’s utility advocates are applying the same great service they do for gas and electric bills to your water company thanks to CARES funding.

If you are unable to pay your water bill because of COVID-19, call our 24-hour appointment line at 440-538-6999.

If you are already on PIPP or have received help from the Summer Crisis or Winter Crisis programs, you MIGHT be eligible. You still have to apply, however.

Appointments can also be made online at: app.capappointments. com/

LCCAA currently offers multiple programs that help low-income Lorain County residents keep their heat on or reconnect them to heat.
