More Arkansas Residents Seek Help with Utility Bills

Over 500 people applied for immediate help with paying utility and electric bills, and aid to keep their utilities on during an event held at the state fair grounds Thursday.

A one day event to issue help through the LI-HEAP program was help by the Central Arkansas Development Council (CADC). The CADC has stated that it is seeing more and more Arkansans qualifying for the low-income energy assistance. The group says it has already assisted 10 thousand families since January of this year. In contrast, the CADC helped just over 15 thousand families in all of 2008.
