The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is now available to assist income-qualified households with their energy bills. The program provides support for natural gas, propane, electricity bills, and furnace assistance. Applications are open until August 15, 2025, or until the funds are depleted.
LIHEAP offers one-time payments directly to energy service providers on behalf of recipients. The amount of assistance varies based on individual family needs. Last year, over 333,000 households benefited from LIHEAP, receiving an average of more than $724 per household.
