At LCCM, we understand life throws curveballs that affect your ability to pay for your regular monthly bills. Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for utility payment assistance, but you may also be eligible for other forms of help. Rather than just making a utility payment, LCCM will try to assist you as you work to stabilize your overall financial situation by connecting you to appropriate community resources so you are set up for success moving forward.

---

All applicants seeking help must go through our application process. All applicants for utility payment assistance (with the exception of UGI), will be required to make an appointment for a consultation with a member of our Connections and Support Services team to determine the community resources available to you and/or the level of financial payment assistance we may be able to provide. Your case will then be reviewed and a staff member will reach out to you in 1 to 2 business days.  
For households seeking utility payment assistance, the following must be done:

• Call to schedule an appointment: (717) 272-4400.
• Bring to your appointment household income information for the past 30 days (pay stubs, reward letter for SSI, SSDI, SSA, etc), photo ID, bank statements (for you to refer to for the income/expense form) and your current monthly bill (please also provide a shut off notice if you have one).

  Applying for financial payment assistance is not a guarantee of receiving financial payment assistance. All cases will be reviewed by the Community and Support Services team to determine eligibility.  
LCCM does not provide rental or mortgage assistance. Please contact Community Action Partnership for more information: (717) 273-9328

Here is more detail to know about oil, water/sewer, and electric bill help:

Heating Assistance

Households may be eligible for assistance with heating energy, whether it be heating oil, electric or another heating source such as propane.
LCCM provides heating assistance only during the government's LIHEAP season: Nov. 4, 2024- April 4, 2025. All applicants seeking assistance from LCCM during LIHEAP season must complete a LIHEAP application and submit a letter of denial from LIHEAP (a screen shot is acceptable).   Please contact LIHEAP to see if you qualify. 
You will be expected to show the inability to pay. 
Eligibility: Assistance for oil is only available during LIHEAP's enrollment season. With heating oil, the potential recipient must be completely out of oil or have less than one quarter tank. LCCM can only provide up to 100 gallons of heating oil. Those in need of assistance are encouraged to call (717) 272-4400 for next steps.
