We Need Your Help

Family Support Centers across West Virginia provide critical services that help families thrive through parenting support, family activities, community resources, support groups, and programs that strengthen children and families.

While we are grateful to the West Virginia Legislature for recognizing the value of these services and including funding in the state budget, the future of Family Support Centers remains uncertain as we approach the new fiscal year.

We need your voice. Please contact Governor Morrisey and urge him to renew and fully fund our contracts. Sharing why Family Support Centers matter to you - personal stories and local experiences - help demonstrate the value these programs bring to communities throughout the Mountain State.

Please contact Governor Patrick Morrisey at 304-558-2000 and share why Family Support Centers matter to you, your family, or your community. Personal stories make a difference and help demonstrate the impact these programs have across West Virginia.
Together, we can keep these vital services available for the families who rely on them every day.

Strong Families. Strong Communities. Strong West Virginia
If you would like to learn more about the Randolph County Family Support Center at YHS and the impact it has on our community, please contact us today: 304-591-4052.

Sincerely,
Family Support Centers of West Virginia

West Virginia Department of Human Services today announced applications for the Emergency Low Income Energy Assistance Program (ELIEAP) will be accepted from June 8 through June 26, 2026, or until funds are exhausted.

The federally funded program assists eligible state residents in paying home heating or cooling bills. Residents whose primary heating and cooling source is gas or electricity must provide a termination notice or a past due utility bill when applying for ELIEAP. Households using other primary heating sources or bulk fuel may qualify for assistance if their heating fuel levels are critically low during the application period.

Households that received a direct payment through the regular Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) must verify that the benefit was used for home heating expenses. Applicants must submit a current receipt equal to the amount of LIEAP assistance received along with their ELIEAP application. Failure to provide verification of payment will result in denial of the application.

Eligibility for ELIEAP is based on household income, household size, and responsibility for paying home heating or cooling costs. To qualify, households must meet all program requirements and be experiencing an energy emergency that could disrupt their primary heating or cooling source if assistance is not provided.

The income limit for Fiscal Year 2026 is 60 percent of the State Median Income. The maximum allowable gross income levels for ELIEAP Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 are listed below:

*For each additional household member, add $688. Households whose countable income exceeds the maximum allowable amount are not eligible for assistance. Certain types of income may be excluded when determining ELIEAP eligibility.

Residents must apply in person at their local DoHS office. A directory of local offices is available at dohs.wv.gov/field-offices. Applications will be processed while funding remains available.

As we head into summer, it's important to remember that almost 1 in 5 children ages 3 to 17 have been diagnosed with a mental, emotional, or behavioral health condition (CDC). This has a huge impact on them in the school, home, and community environment. It's important to remember that it is ok to seek help and support. Here at Youth Health Services, we offer year-round treatment of these mental, emotional, and behavioral health conditions through individual, group, and/or family therapy. Please stop by or call the main office at 304-636-9450 to learn more about our services, and to get year-round support. Serving our communities with quality and heart.
