About the Organization: The Menifee County Outreach office can assist
throughout the year (depending on funding availability) with utility assistance,
CNA and EMT certification, case management and self-sufficiency. During the
months of November and December we have the Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Subsidy Program where a credit is applied to the
account of the client for their primary heating source. During the months of
January through March, or until funding has been spent, we offer the Crisis portion
of this same program. During this program, clients must have a disconnect on their
utility, be at or below 30% in their propane tank, or be within 4 days of running out
of coal, wood or kerosene.
