Overview
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a federally funded initiative designed to assist low-income households, seniors, and others in meeting their immediate home energy needs. The program helps people lower their home heating and energy bills by directly offsetting costs with their local utility provider, ensuring that they can maintain a safe and healthy living environment during the coldest and hottest months of the year. While LIHEAP is funded at the federal level, it is administered locally by state and community agencies.
