Community Services
Energy Assistance Program
The Energy Assistance Program, or EAP for short, provides heating assistance to low income families in the Oconee Area.
This program offers assistance with natural gas, electricity, or wood – whichever is the primary source of heating.
The EAP is offered only once each year. Clients are selected based on total family income.
To receive services, the client must contact Overview via phone during the sign up period to set up an appointment. Although an appointment does not guarantee assistance.
Overview, Inc. also administrates the Emergency Energy Assistance Program.
