Healthy at Home Utility Relief Fund

On October 19, 2020, Governor Andy Beshear signed an executive order designating $15 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds for the Healthy at Home Utility Relief Fund.

Households can receive assistance for the minimum needed to alleviate the water and wastewater crisis up to $500. Households can reapply until they reached their maximum benefit.  Households can apply for electric and natural gas benefits once in a one month timeframe.  The benefits each time are the minimum needed to alleviate crisis for up to $200.
