LIHEAP Energy Assistance for Low-Income Households
We proudly offer support through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), a federally funded service designed to help eligible low-income households cover the costs of heating and cooling their homes. Our mission is to connect individuals and families with the energy assistance they need to stay safe, warm, and secure throughout the year.
Whether you’re facing a temporary financial hardship or long-term economic challenges, our team is here to help guide you through the LIHEAP application process, provide up-to-date eligibility information, and ensure you get the support you qualify for. We’re committed to helping our community reduce energy burdens and maintain essential utility services.
