Community Action Agency of Middle Georgia is proud to be a part of this successful program and to be able to help families in they community receive energy assistance when they need it most.
The MGCAA assists eligible households with a one-time payment up to $350 to their primary heating supplier.
Preference will be given to households where everyone is 65 years of age or older or homebound and can be contacted by phone at the designated location beginning the first business day of November of each year.
Other income-eligible families with funds remaining can make appointments starting the first business day in December.
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%.
