The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) assists families with their energy costs at home.
Once a year, assistance is available and emergency funds are available for families facing energy service outages.
Grants are awarded on a points system to ensure that those most in need are cared for first and that subsidies are paid directly to the energy supplier.
Applications are accepted quarterly during January, April, July and October.
Please call 1-844-309-0416 two weeks before the beginning of the admission month.
Crisis requests are taken throughout the year and depend on the availability of resources.

*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%.
