January 5, 2023

Dear TRRCOPO,
The holiday season has passed and the new year is upon us. We want to take this time to thank you for being a part of our team in 2022 and we hope you will continue to make us a part of your routine for 2023. Watch for big things on the horizon.
Sincerely,
TRRC Team
The first big thing we have coming up is our Souper Bowl of Caring campaign that will kick off (pun definitely intended) as we approach the Super Bowl. Watch for more information on how you can help with this food drive and donate to TRRC to help us continue in our efforts to grow the community.
 
Community Development
The Two Rivers Land Bank Authority has started the process of selling acquired properties in Adams and Morgan Counties. You can view those properties at www.trlba.org.
Community Services
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) started September 1, 2022, for all income-eligible households. Applications will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis through May 31, 2023. Households must be at or below 200% of the federal poverty level to receive a benefit from this program. The 30-day income guidelines for LIHEAP are based on Federal Poverty Guidelines, State Median Income and the number of persons living in the household. The income guidelines are as follows: 1-$2,265, 2-$3,052, 3-$3,838, 4-4,625. Check out the LIHEAP link for more information.
 
LIHEAP provides one-time benefits to income eligible homeowners and renters to help with energy bills and for reconnection of energy service. Call (217) 224-8171 or email at info@trrcopo.org to schedule an appointment.
Weatherization
We are currently taking Weatherization applications in Adams, Brown, Pike, and Schuyler Counties for homeowners and renters. If you are interested in having your home updated to make it more energy efficient, please contact us at (217) 224-8171 and select the option for Weatherization.
Workforce Development
If you or anyone you know is in need of further vocational training, has a desire to complete the GED, or just needs assistance with a resume or job search then please contact our agency at info@trrcopo.org.
