Who We Are

Lyn-CAG's Emergency Assistance Program (EACI) provides financial assistance to individuals and families faced with loss of a utility service or actual eviction from their homes due to economic hardship. The program offers one-time per year voucher payments to providers of essential utility and fuel services such as electricity, water, gas, wood, and oil. In collaboration with other area agencies and organizations, the program also offers mortgage or rental assistance to prevent eviction and provides relocation support as needed.



Face-to-Face interviews are usually required for all applicants applying for Emergency Assistance. During Covid-19 this may change.
