Acerca de LIHEAP

Programa de Asistencia Energética para Hogares con Ingresos Bajos (LIHEAP)

Acerca del programa

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps families living on low incomes pay their heating bills in the form of a cash grant. Households in immediate danger of being without heat can also qualify for crisis grants. The cash grant is a one-time payment sent directly to the utility company/fuel provider to be credited on your bill. You can receive from $200 to $1,000 based on your household size, income, and fuel type. Remember: This is a grant and does not have to be repaid.

Are you experiencing an emergency related to your household’s heat? You may be eligible to receive additional funds through a crisis grant.
