Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)

Federally funded program that provides financial assistance to qualified low-income households in paying their home energy bills. Direct payments towards utility bills or grants for weatherization and insulation improvements that can reduce long-term energy costs.

Funding levels vary, funds may run out before all applicants have been served due to high demand for assistance each year. LIHEAP does not provide any direct payment towards utility bills; do not directly address short-term needs like high utility bills due to extreme temperatures or other unexpected events.

One of the major advantages of LIHEAP is that it does not have any income requirements or eligibility criteria; anyone who meets basic qualifications can receive assistance from this program regardless of income level or other factors. Additionally, LIHEAP funds are available throughout the year and can be used for both emergency situations and regular energy expenses such as heating costs during winter months or cooling costs during summer months.
