Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program

If you need help paying your heating bills, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) can help. This federally funded program provides assistance to eligible customers. LIHEAP opens November 4, 2024 and is scheduled to close on April 4, 2025.

Grant amounts vary from $200 to $1,000 and will be provided only while LIHEAP funding remains available. Apply early because funds are very limited and are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. See the chart below to see if you qualify.

The size of the grant is based upon your income and household size.

Household SizeAnnual Income Limit
1$22,590
2$30,660
3$38,730
4$46,800
5$54,870
6$62,940

Crisis Grant

If you are without service or have received a shut-off notice, you may also be eligible for a crisis grant of up to $1,000.

If you are without service and owe a balance, you may apply for a crisis grant to help to have your service restored.

If you are applying for a crisis grant, you will need your shut-off notice or a form from the utility company stating how much is needed in order to have service turned on.
