I just wanted you to know that I learned something new from this video. I had applied for the LIHEAP several months ago, but I had never heard of the LIWEAP program. I emailed my Community Action representative last night as soon as I watched this video. She replied this morning and said that there were indeed still some funds for LIWEAP in my county so I immediately applied! Within 20 minutes I learned that I had qualified for over $250 to help with my water bill! My water company has already been notified of my award amount. This is a huge help and I wouldn’t have known about it if it hadn’t been for your hard work and effort in making these videos! Thank you so much!

@@mystikskye Yes. Applications can be had at PSEG, where you pay the bill. Ask for the application for the Universal Service Fund. Also, "read" the inserts included within the PSEG bill. There was a lot of information I found in there, after the fact and USF info should be in there, too 👍🏻 This is for New Jersey. LIHEAP is Long Island Heat Energy Assistance Program.

I appreciate you and your team for all the work you do for us specifically seniors like me. God bless you all

What a wonderful lady and a beautiful spirit you are. I appreciate your efforts for searching all this information and your help you provide for so many seniors. Thank you for all you are doing.

@LowIncomeRelief -- Warning! Pell Grants and housing assistance can be a very bad mix. If you have some kind of housing voucher and you get student financial aid like Pell Grants it is very possible you can lose your voucher. Be very careful on this one. If you want to go back to college ask lots of questions from your housing support source.

I don’t think Florida has very much help for anyone. Which you think they would cuz a lot of seniors retire down here. I’ve yet to find help to do repair work on my mobile home. My roof leaks and my front door when closed has a one inch gap that lets in critters as big as tree frogs. Every place I’ve called either say they don’t work on mobile homes or they DO work on them but you have to own the property. I still need repair work done from when hurricane Ian hit close by here. I did get a little bit from FEMA for cleanup and sanitation but since I was still able to live in my home I didn’t get any help with that. Im almost 65 years old. I shouldnt have to live where I don’t have a proper door to close in the winter. Even tho I’m in Florida it does get down to freezing here. I told myself years ago that if I came into money I was gonna run a foundation just for people with mobile homes. I would either repair their homes or if it was beyond repair I would get them a new one. Sorry for the long rant but I’m just getting so dang frustrated with finding no help out there.

FL is as tough a state for finding help as MT is. If you haven't asked yet at a senior center, sometimes they're a great place to start. Also, Nicole has just revamped her site to help us find what we're needing easier. I'll leave the link... lowincomerelief.com/ Truly hope you find help.

SSI only gives 30 per cent of what you need to live on monthly. Physically disabled are getting cheated by that low amount. SSA employees and Congress wouldn't live on that. They can't expect us to either.

Hello I love the advice on the videos.

The weatherization program said my insulation needed replacing, but they don't do that. No one at Bexar county, TX, has heard of LIHEAP. Still looking for a twin split for heat and air conditioning, but NO ONE offers that. I keep hearing about HVAC grants, but never found one. Our congressman is useless. I've asked him to do find one.
