LIHEAP
LIHEAP utilizes federal funds to help eligible households offset the costs of winter heating. The type and level of assistance depends upon the household’s primary fuel type, income level, and housing circumstances. Households earning at or below 150% of the federal poverty level are eligible for LIHEAP. Typically, the Council offers either a one-time energy subsidy or crisis assistance on winter heating costs to households that meet income eligibility guidelines. To qualify for crisis assistance, households must provide a utility shut-off notice in addition to proof of income. LIHEAP typically operates from November through March but has been operating more frequently since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
