Kentucky - Financial Relief for Family Caregivers
 
In His Steps - Operation Blessing - provides limited financial assistance for rent or mortgage payments, emergency needs in situations of catastrophic loss (fire, flood, earthquake), utility bills (water, electricity, gas). Requests will only be considered if a letter is attached from a pastoral or agency representative. Payments will be sent directly to the creditor. Contact them at 843-553-2335.

Private Fuel Funds - there are non-federal dollars available from local fuel funds, obtained from others throughout the state of Kentucky who make contributions into this fund when paying their own utility bill. Ask the state energy assistance office for the local phone number of the fuel fund nearest you, or go to www.nationalfuelfunds.org.  You can also contact one of the following in order to find out more information on how to qualify for financial assistance regarding your fuel bill:
