Kentucky households can apply for LIHEAP Summer Subsidy from August 3 - September 11, 2026, to help offset cooling costs with a one-time electric benefit. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, or until funds are depleted.
Interested households should contact their local Community Action Agency, based on county of residence, to determine eligibility and complete the application process. To locate the office serving your county, visit www.nkcac.org or call 859-581-6607.
Households must meet eligibility requirements, including household income of up to and including 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines to qualify for assistance. Benefits are paid directly to the household’s electric vendor.
No disconnect notice, past-due bill, or eviction notice is required to apply. Assistance received during previous LIHEAP components does not affect eligibility.

Another amazing year with our StarterCats has come to an end, and what a beautiful journey it has been.

This year was filled with laughter, learning, friendships, milestones, and so much growth. From first discoveries to newfound confidence, we have loved watching each of our little learners grow into curious, capable, and kind students ready for their next big adventure.

To our precious StarterCats — thank you for the hugs, the smiles, the silly moments, and the memories we will carry with us long after this school year ends. You have brought so much joy to our classrooms and our hearts.

As you take the next step into kindergarten, we are so proud of all you have accomplished. Keep being brave, keep asking questions, keep learning, and keep shining bright!

We wish each of you well on your kindergarten journey. Once a StarterCat, always a StarterCat. ❤️ 🐾

Returning StarterCats, see you real soon!🥰
