Rent, Water, Utility Help Continue in 2021

LCCAA will continue to offer help with past due rent and water bills in 2021 as well as several types of help with gas and electric bills.

New funding allows LCCAA to reopen its rent assistance program. To provide prompt service, a limited number of applications will be taken on multiple dates.

Rental assistance is limited to up to three consecutive months of rental arrears and some fees back to April 1, 2020. Applicants must be behind on rent or facing eviction, live at or below 80% of the area median income ($60,800 for a family of four) and have been directly affected by COVID-19.

Additional information and details will be available on our website. A very limited number of rent applications will be taken on Jan. 4, Jan. 25, and Feb. 16. Each day, applications will open at 8 a.m.

Assistance with past due water bills also continues, with the new, higher income threshold of $60,800 for a family of four. Applications can be made only on our website.

LCCAA also continues to offer the following programs for gas and electric consumers:

Winter Crisis: for residents without heat service or who have received a disconnect notice;

HEAP: for residents in good standing who need help paying their bills;

PIPP: for residents in good standing who would like to lower their bills and get on a budget.

Qualifications and details are on our website. If you have received a disconnect notice for your heat, call 440-538-6999 immediately. In many cases, making an appointment can stop the disconnect.

Additional questions may be directed to 440-245- 1870.
