Energy Assistance season closed on April 20, 2026 for the 2025-2026 application year.

Thank you to our staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly to serve almost 1,000 households this year!

EAP provides a one-time annual benefit that can assist with the high cost of home energy and can help if you are about to get disconnected. However, an EAP benefit will not cover all of your annual heating and electric costs, so you should continue to pay your bills regularly.

For additional program information please visit CoAction’s website or call our office at 219-464-9736.

When the 2026-2027 application year opens, information will be posted on this page.
