| Unpublished Notes | When a New Haven resident has a heat emergency, and there is a housing code issue, LCI will use whatever resources it has to help the person through the immediate crisis. However, LCI has no authority over Community Action Agency and cannot advocate for people who are having difficulty getting energy assistance from Community Action Agency.
ALSO, if a resident has no heat, even it is through non payment of a bill, AND it is extremely cold, posing a danger to the people in the household, LCI will try to find a place for the household to go; however, LCI will try to work with the landlord or encourage the family to stay with relatives or friends before they place them in a hotel/motel. |
