LOW-INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
(LIHEAP)
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) has been in existence for over thirty years helping families pay a portion of their winter heating costs. Eligibility for the program is based on several factors including income, children, disabled, elderly, heat type and housing type. A one-time payment will be made to your heating company.
