A&R

HACAP’s Assessment and Resolution Energy Counseling program (A&R Program) is established in order to provide energy efficiency education, budget counseling and incentives for qualified households. The program’s desired outcome will be a decrease in energy consumption, which will aid in the reduction of reliance on non-household income assistance as a means of maintaining energy services.

The program will provide assessments of energy bills and arrears for households that have been approved for the Low-income Home Energy Assistance Program (LiHEAP) and other households covered under A&R contracts with HACAP (such as the Alliant Energy Counseling program and those households who could be served under CDBG and HSOG counseling grants).
