Did you know there's a federally funded program that can help with energy bills?

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps low-income families pay their energy bills during times of hardship. It can help cover your heating or cooling costs and may even help with emergency services such as lodging, replacing or repairing a furnace or central air, wood stoves, window air conditioners, or blankets.

To find out if you are eligible to receive LIHEAP benefits, visit mydss.mo.gov/utility-assistance/liheap or call 1-855-373-4636.

Most people benefit from using some form of assistive technology every day. It can be as simple as using a pencil grip to assist with writing, controlling one's environment, communicating with others, or operating a vehicle. The programs offered through Missouri Assistive Technology (MoAT) are designed to increase knowledge of assistive technology and to help Missourians with disabilities access the things that can help them gain more control and independence, give them more options and choices, and give them greater opportunities in their daily life.

Visit MoAT’s website to explore the programs and resources available: https://at.mo.gov/

Contact MoAT with questions at 1-800-647-8557; TTY: 1-800-647-8558.

DD Resources had the opportunity to join the Gateway Coalition of Service Providers for their annual legislative coffee to highlight the impact of your tax dollars at work. Through powerful stories shared by service providers, families, self-advocates, and legislators, the essential role of local services and funding was clearly illustrated.

Thank you to Senators Doug Beck and Tracy McCreery, and Representatives Steve Butts, Yolonda Fountain-Henderson, Raychel Proudie, Ray Reed, and Bridget Walsh-Moore for taking the time to learn more about our community and the services that support it.
