NOTICE:
Dear Community Members and Stakeholders,
The Department of Human Services (DHS) is nearing the completion of important system upgrades designed to enhance our service delivery of the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). These updates are vital for sustaining and advancing the quality and efficiency of our services to better serve our region. However, during this transition, some community members may experience brief delays in the processing of the LIHEAP applications.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and patience as we work through these state system enhancements. We are committed to providing the highest standard of service for our communities and we will be making every effort to minimize any disruptions, ensuring a smooth transition.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please reach out to the DHS office at (404) 657-3426.

“I would love to send a personal thanks to the PCA family. You guys have been a whole blessing! Thanks for helping us obtain permanent housing and for everything you have done. I look forward to a better life thanks to PCA.”
Denise Fayson
“My family’s electric bill was over $1,200 due to equipment needed to treat COPD and severe asthma. I didn’t know where to go or what to do when I came upon the LIHEAP program. PCA showed me how much they cared for me, without even knowing me personally. I am so thankful programs like this are out there for people in need, and I am forever grateful.”
Carol Boyd
