Description

Works with households to resolve emergencies involving home heat and electrical disconnection notices using programs and funds available and helps with applications. Electric heat assistance is limited to households with primary heat source of electricity or electricity that is essential to keeping other types of heating systems operational. The Wood Warms Program provides two free cords of wood to eligible households that heat entirely with wood or that supplement their primary heat source by burning wood. All payments are sent directly to the fuel supplier. Households may be eligible to receive assistance from more than one program. Wood for emergency fuel is also available through Springfield Restorative Justice Center, but clients must be screened and approved by SEVCA and pick it up themselves or make other arrangements.
