LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program)

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a federal initiative that helps eligible low-income households pay for their energy bills, such as heating and cooling costs. This assistance can reduce the financial burden during extreme weather conditions or when energy expenses are high. LIHEAP provides various forms of support, including direct financial aid, energy bill assistance, or help with energy crisis situations. The goal is to ensure that vulnerable families can keep their homes safe and comfortable without sacrificing other essentials, maintaining energy access regardless of income level.
