Energy Assistance Program
The City of Lubbock has received funding from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for the Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program (CEAP). This grant is designed to assist low-income Lubbock County residents with utility assistance and repair or replacement of energy systems. Priority is given to the elderly, disabled, or households with children age 5 and under, and households with the highest energy consumption, and lowest incomes.
If you or a family member is in need of assistance with repairing or replacing your air conditioner, heater, water heater or refrigerator, and would like to see if you qualify, please contact Community Development at 775-3081.
Elderly and Disabled Utility Assistance:
If you are in need of assistance with your propane, gas or electric bill, and you are 60 years of age or older, please contact Neighborhood House at 741-0459 to see if you qualify for assistance.
