Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)

LIHEAP is a federally funded program that helps low-income households with their energy bills. The level of assistance is based on:

Energy burden (how much of your income goes toward energy bills)
Household income and size
The presence of vulnerable members (seniors, individuals with disabilities, children under 6)

You don’t need to have a past due energy bill or be on public assistance to apply. Renters and homeowners are both eligible.
