Valley Program for Aging Services is accepting applications for the Senior Cool Care Program, sponsored by Dominion Energy.
Eligible individuals who need help cooling their homes will receive a single-room air conditioner or a fan. A limited number of air conditioners and fans are available. Those interested in applying should contact the local VPAS office at (540) 949-7141.
To qualify for the program, individuals must be 60 years of age or older, live in Staunton, Augusta County, or Waynesboro, have a monthly income of no more than $1,699 (single) or $2,289 (couple). Individuals that have central air conditioning in their home will only be eligible to receive a fan.
“This year, Senior Cool Care is starting a month earlier than previous years,” said Janice Gentry, VPAS regional director. “This is really helpful especially since we’ve already experienced a couple of days with summer-like temperatures.”
