Louisville households can apply for LIHEAP Fall Subsidy from April 20 to May 22, 2026, to help with heating costs during the colder months.
Eligible households with income up to 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines may qualify for a one-time benefit. This program covers heating costs for electric, natural gas, propane, coal, wood, or fuel oil. Benefits are paid directly to the energy vendor, and no disconnect notice or past-due bill is required to apply.
Assistance received during previous LIHEAP components does not affect eligibility. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
To schedule an appointment, call 502-991-8391 or visit online at louisvilleky.cascheduler.com/ . After scheduling an appointment, please be sure to bring all required documentation on the day of your appointment.

One of the biggest questions people ask when enrolling in Medicare: Should I enroll in Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage Plan? The best plan is the one that fits your health needs, your budget, and your lifestyle. Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage both have real advantages, but they work very differently. Understanding how each one works is the first step to finding the right fit for you.

You can contact your SHIP with any Medicare-related questions or concerns. SHIP counselors are federally funded to provide trusted, unbiased Medicare counseling at no cost to you. Find them at shiphelp.org

Did you know Louisville Metro has a Home Repair Program?

I’m still digging into all the details myself, but from what I’ve learned so far, this program helps low- to moderate-income homeowners with repairs to stabilize and maintain their homes. And we’re talking real help not just advice.

It’s funded through federal HUD dollars and is meant for folks who:
• Own their home
• Live in a single-family house
• Need repairs to keep their home safe and livable

Now here’s the part that matters funding can vary, so it’s not always guaranteed, but it’s absolutely worth checking into if you or someone you know could use the help.

📞 502-574-5850
🌐 LouisvilleKY.gov

And while I was looking into this, I also found a few other solid resources that might help people in our area:
•Project Warm – energy savings + free services for qualifying households
•LG&E-KU WeCare Program – helps with energy efficiency and lowering bills
•New Directions Repair Affair – helps seniors (60+) or those with disabilities with home repairs

There are more programs out there than we realize sometimes so we just don’t always hear about them.

If this could help you, a neighbor, or a family member, take a few minutes and look into it. And if anyone here has actually used this program before, I’d love to hear your experience

Are you paying extra for Medicare due to your income? You could be affected by IRMAA (Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount), which means higher costs for Medicare Part B and Part D based on your income level. The good news: if your income has changed, you might be able to reduce what you pay!

The State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) offers unbiased Medicare help at no cost to you to see if you qualify for savings or can appeal your IRMAA. www.shiphelp.org
