LIEAP, or Low Income Energy Assistance Program is a federally funded program for those with low income, offering them support with their Evergy and/or Kansas Gas payments. https://www.benefits.gov/benefit/1557
Director of Client Services, Warren Holmes said this program has been underreported and many people didn’t even know about the program. For this reason, his organization began offering assistance with the process and filling out the application, as “it’s not hard, it’s just a little bit confusing for some people.”
“As they come in, we’ll set up appointments for them, and then we will go through their preparation and then add to what they need to do to complete it,” Holmes said. “And then we can get it to the Department of Children & Families here in town.”
