Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is A federally funded service whereby income eligible households may receive assistance once each winter to offset the cost of winter heating bills. A portion of funding is set aside for cooling assistance to offset summer utility bills. Priority is given to home bound persons,
individuals age 65 and above, and those with life threatening medical conditions.
LIHEAP provides income-eligible households an annual financial benefit toward their home heating costs through direct payments to home energy suppliers.
Households in which every member is age 65 or older or homebound are given priority and can apply starting in December each year. If funds remain, other income eligible households can apply beginning in January each year.
Potential applicants must call the publicized phone number to schedule an application appointment or be placed on the LIHEAP waiting list. Applications are taken on a first come, first served basis each year until all funds are exhausted.
A cooling component is sometimes offered in the summer if funding is available.
