The focus of the Social Service Department is to coordinate existing federal, state, regional and local services, to increase community awareness of these services and to develop new programs to meet the needs of Granby residents. For more information about any of the following programs please call the office.
Granby Local Assistance Program
Granby residents facing financial hardship may access funds once in a twelve month period. The gross household income cannot exceed 60 percent of State Median Income, unless extenuating circumstances can be documented.
Fuel Assistance Program
Connecticut Energy Assistance Program (CEAP). During the winter months, help is available to households to help pay for heating fuel in the form of oil, gas, or electric heat. To qualify you must provide proof of your household’s total income and assets that must not exceed the program limits. Fuel deliveries start in November.
Processing will be delayed if necessary paperwork is missing. Call office to see if your household qualifies and to schedule a confidential appointment.
