The aid is granted to those who pay directly to the municipal enterprise or to those who have the heat included in the rent.
Applications are open from November 1 to April 30.
LEAP can also help with repairs to domestic heating systems.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance program is called LIHEAP. They assist low income people and families with their heating and cooling bills. This program is therefore, a year long program that is available 12 months a year.
To qualify for the LIHEAP assistance, you need to qualify. We provide the current Federal Poverty Rates nationwide below.
You are automatically qualified for LIHEAP assistance if you participate in the SNAP food stamps program, TANF Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or the SSI program through Social Security.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get legal aid from some offices, they use a sliding fee scale. When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.

No, I do not believe they do. You must have written evidence if your residence i.e. a rental/lease agreement, a utility in your name that you would like to have assistance in paying: power, gas, water, commodities (pellets, coal). You must have proof of your identity and if disabled your award letter. If you share the property, a term agreement if your portion of responsibilities.
Just once. My experience was both positive and negative. First it's very hard to actually reach someone. Then it's usually a referral to call someone else.
Once a season.
Depends on your situation. Each case is individual and funding is determined by available money and your needs.

Yes. LEAP funding paid the electric invoice but what was surprising was that my water bill was paid off. The timing couldn't have been better. This funding has helped me and my son, a Down Syndrome adult, at times that we did not have any way to get financially caught up with our heating utilities. I own an electric start gas furnace which means both electric and gas must be functional which can get very expensive in extreme cold weather. The help is very much appreciated.
