The Community Action Partnership of Strafford County (CAPSC) has announced the opening of the Federal Fuel Assistance Program for the 2024-2025 season. The program helps eligible households manage energy costs and stay warm during the colder months.
Priority applications are now being accepted for households with members aged 60 or older, those with a documented disability, households with children under 6 years old, or those using wood as a primary heating source. Non-priority applications will open on September 1st, 2024. Click here to apply online.
In addition, CAPSC is now accepting applications for two housing projects aimed at providing affordable and safe housing within the community:
