Forsyth County seniors can begin applying on Wednesday for assistance with their heating bills during the winter months.
The Forsyth Social Services Low-Income Energy Assistance Program offers a one-time payment to a resident’s heating provider. Households with someone 60 or older or with a person receiving disability services are eligible to apply.
The program aims to support those who are facing rising heating costs. Residents can receive up to $500 paid directly to their provider.
All other households can begin applying for the program on Jan. 2.
