The Community Action Program for Central Arkansas will begin a Winter Utility Assistance Program beginning Monday, Jan. 9.

This will be for gas, propane or electric. Applications will be taken Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays from 8:00 - 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 - 4:30 p.m. The office will be closed from 12-1 p.m. for lunch.

All interested applicants must provide proof of their household income for the previous month for all household members 18 years of age or older, proof or lack of child support for all single parent households. If a household has not had income during the previous month, they must obtain a History of claims from the Arkansas Workforce Center. Applicants will also need to provide a copy of their most recent utility bill.

No determination can be made until all requested information has been received.
