Energy/Utility Assistance
Crisis Intervention Program The Crisis Intervention Program (CIP) is a Federally-funded program that assists individuals and families who are experiencing a heating or cooling related crisis. A household is considered to be in a crisis if it is currently experiencing or is in danger of experiencing a life-threatening or health-related emergency and sufficient, timely, and appropriate assistance is not available from any other source. Life-threatening is defined as a household that has no heating or cooling source or has a disconnect notice for their primary heating or cooling service and the health or well-being of a household member would be in danger if the heating or cooling crisis was not alleviated. Each household should be evaluated on a case by case basis to determine if there is a heating or cooling crisis. This is a heating and cooling crisis program and not a program for other utility assistance.
Contact your local Department of Social Services to complete the application process and for additional information on CIP.

Care is provided using VA’s team-based Patient Aligned Care Teams (PACT) model. A PACT consists of a health care provider (doctor, physician assistant or nurse practitioner), registered nurse, licensed practical nurse and a medical support assistant (MSA) who work together to provide the best possible health care for Veterans. The PACT team works closely with the patients and their families to ensure trusted, personal relationships are developed to coordinate all aspects of the Veterans health care.
Veterans who need specialized health care can get a consult at the Brunswick CBOC and after the consult is completed, be referred to VA’s Wilmington Health Care Center to receive the specialized services they need such as Mental Health, Urology, Women’s Health, Orthopedics and more. For information on Health Benefits eligibility, call the hotline at 877-222-8387 or visit the https://www.vets.gov/healthcare/ web site.
