The 2015 Energy Assistance applications have been put in the mail and you should start receiving them in September. For those of you that did not apply last winter, call us if you need an application starting the third week in September. Please keep in mind to fill out the application completely and send all information that is required. This makes it easier and quicker to get your grant out. Also keep in mind that we also offer the emergency program. Make sure when you have an emergency that you ask the company if you are eligible for CWR (Cold Weather Rule Protection) and if you would qualify for that.

We also have the furnace repair or replacement program if homeowners are having problems with their furnace. We may be able to help.

If you have any question about any Red Lake Energy Assistance programs, please do not hesitate to call us at 218-679-1880 or fax a request to 218-679-3378. Our office hours are Monday - Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

APPLICATIONS FOR THE FFY 2015 ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM HAVE BEEN MAILED

The Minnesota Department of Commerce has sent out the energy assistance applications for the Red Lake Nation FFY 2015 Energy Assistance Program (EAP) for those that have applied the last heating season. IF you have not received your application in the mail, you can call the Red Lake CAP @ 679-1880 or one will be mailed to you. You can pick up an EAP application after September 15, 2014.

We need three months income verification from the date that you sign the application, receipts of your last fuel (fuel oil, propane) delivery and the current electrical bill. All this information is necessary so that your application be processed.
