The Pokagon Social Services Department announces for a second year the Pokagon Supplemental Heating Program. This program will provide a credit of $260 per eligible household to help with high energy costs, and is supported by a generous donation from Citizens Energy Corporation of Boston, MA. Since Citizens Energy is a private corporation and not an agency of the federal government, Social Services is able to offer the Supplemental Heating Program assistance to income-eligible Pokagon Band households anywhere in the United States. The Supplemental Heating Program is NOT limited to the 10-county service area. Please note: The Supplemental Heating Program is separate from the LIHEAP Program. The Supplemental Program has higher income guidelines and can be provided to more households. Current LIHEAP recipients automatically qualify for the Supplemental Program, but are required to still submit documentation.
