Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program  (361) 882-4193

The CEAP program’s goal is to help low income individuals and families who have the highest need for energy assistance.  Under CEAP there are several programs each with its own specific criteria.  The highest priority is given to those households of the elderly, the disabled and those with children under the age of six.

 

CEAP may help with the payment of a utility bill, repair or replacement of an

appliance or simply by giving individuals the resources to become self sufficient

in paying their own utility expenses.  All programs emphasize the saving of energy.
Intake and eligibility services   (361) 882-4193
Eligibility is based on income and specific criteria for each program. Service Centers are located throughout Nueces County in order to make our programs easily accessible to all of our clients.  Each Service Center is staffed by an Intake worker who assists each client in determining eligibility for all of the available programs. This process can take up to one and a half to two hours for each client.

All prospective clients will be required to schedule an appointment by calling the nearest Service Center and submitting the following documentation prior to the delivery of any services:

  • A valid Texas Drivers License or Texas ID
  • Social Security cards for all members of the household
  • proof of income for at least 30 days prior to applying (check stub, award letters etc.)
  • Complete an application and obtain all appropriate signatures
Weatherization  CS- Annex Location: (361) 653-3093
Weatherization is also an energy conservation program which helps to reduce the amount of unnecessary use of energy and fuel costs of low income households.  The Weatherization program performs the following home modifications in order to prevent this loss of energy and the resulting high costs:
  • Weather stripping
  • Caulking
  • Patching holes
  • Insulation of walls and ceilings
  • Appliance testing
  • Replacing broken windows & doors
  • Other minor home modifications
These home modifications are specifically focused on improving efficiency and are not designed to improve overall home appearance.
