For families in need of cooling assistance:
Cooling Assistance Available to Qualifying North Dakota Households
The Department of Human Services (DHS) and the North Dakota Department of Commerce offer a cooling assistance program that can help qualifying lower-income North Dakota households beat the heat.
Operated in cooperation with Community Action Partnership of North Dakota (CAPND) offices, the cooling assistance program can help eligible households with the cost of purchasing and repairing air conditioners and other cooling devices. To participate, households must qualify financially for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which serves households with incomes up to 60% of the state median income.
Qualifying income varies by household size. A two-person household can earn up to $42,467 and qualify. Program details are online at the DHS website.
Households that participated in LIHEAP this past heating season can contact their local CAPND agency directly if interested. They will need to provide their LIHEAP approval letter.
To apply for LIHEAP, visit www.applyforhelp.nd.gov, contact a local human service zone office, or call (800) 823-2417
