Winters are harsh! You work hard. Heat is expensive. The cost of staying safe and warm can be too much. There is help available to pay your heating bills through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP or commonly referred to as Fuel Assistance). LIHEAP provides eligible households with help in paying a portion of their winter heating bills.
There is no cost to the homeowner if you are eligible. Eligibility is based on household size and the gross annual income of every household member 18 or older. Household income cannot exceed 60% of estimated State Median Income. Check our "Income Eligibility" chart.
There are also programs for Weatherization Assistance (WAP) to help reduce the energy costs in your home and for Heating System Repair and Replacement (HEARTWAP) to help with problems with your heating system. You can get started with these using the same application.
