The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps low-income households meet their home energy needs.
It may give several types of assistance:
- Crisis Assistance may help eligible households who are about to have their utilities cut off due to nonpayment, or whose utilities have already been disconnected – the amount is based on need, up to the maximum allowed per household
- Disaster Relief is offered during extreme heat or freezing weather, when the state has declared a weather emergency – this assistance may include utility payments, heaters, fans and blankets
- Home Energy Assistance is a one-time payment benefit towards the household’s energy account, based on the total household income
