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.
| Persons In Family | Earnings (100% Fed Poverty Guideline) |

| 2 | $20,440 |
| 3 | $25,820 |
| 4 | $31,200 |

*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%.

The cost of living had gotten so out of hand that I was unable to pay my monthly electric bill. The monies that LIHEAP paid on my account made all the difference in the world. Because of their help, I was able to cover all of my other expenses on my own. They have a lot of applicants and the process is not quick but it is certainly worth the wait!
Has always been very helpful to me!
They have great people working here
