Applying for the Emergency Repair and Replace Program (ERRP) is now easier than ever!

We’ve streamlined the process so you have more options. Instead of only applying in person, you can now request the application be sent directly to your email to complete online. Of course, you’re still welcome to stop by your local Community Resources, Inc. office to apply the traditional way...we just wanted to give you more ways to take advantage of this program.

How it works:
1️⃣ Call or email us to receive the JotForm application link.
2️⃣ Complete the application online (or at your local CRI office).
3️⃣ Once submitted, our team will be in touch about next steps.

The Emergency Repair and Replacement Program helps income-eligible households with urgent heating or cooling needs. If your furnace, air conditioner, or hot water system isn’t working, ERRP may be able to help with repair or replacement.

📞 Questions? Call ERRP Coordinator Mary Hammons at 304-893-9860/[email protected] or reach out to your local CRI Community Service Specialist.

The West Virginia Department of Human Services (DoHS) announced that applications for the Emergency Low Income Energy Assistance Program (E-LIEAP) will be accepted from Monday, July 28, through Friday, August 8, 2025, or until funds are exhausted. This program helps low-income families in West Virginia who are facing an energy emergency.

E-LIEAP may also help with cooling costs in some situations. Each application is reviewed individually, and some types of cooling sources may require approval before assistance can be given.

To qualify:

-Households using gas or electric must present a termination notice when applying.

-Households using bulk fuels like propane, fuel oil, kerosene, wood, or coal must show that their supply is low when you apply.

-Households that have already received a regular LIEAP payment for bulk fuel (such as propane, fuel oil, kerosene, wood, or coal), must provide a receipt or proof showing that the LIEAP payment was used to purchase fuel. Applications for E-LIEAP assistance may be denied without this documentation.

Eligibility for E-LIEAP is determined based on household income, household size, and whether the household is responsible for paying utility costs. In emergency situations, all applicants must meet in person with a DoHS worker.

The maximum allowable gross income levels for LIEAP Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 are listed below:

*For each additional person, add $673. Households whose countable income exceeds the maximum amount are not eligible. However, some types of income may be excluded for E-LIEAP.

To apply, residents must go to their local DoHS office. A list of local offices may be found at https://dhhr.wv.gov/pages/field-offices.aspx.
