Struggling with Power Bills? LIHEAP Can Help

Get energy bill relief through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)

Staying warm in the winter and cool in the summer shouldn't come at the cost of financial stress. If you're struggling with high utility bills, LIHEAP may be able to help you cover the costs.

Many households save an average of $539 per year through LIHEAP—and even more during extreme weather conditions.

How LIHEAP Works

LIHEAP provides short-term help with:

Heating and cooling bills
Past-due utility balances
Preventing utility shut-offs
Energy-related emergencies

If you’ve received a shut-off notice, use medical equipment that needs electricity, or are simply falling behind on energy bills, LIHEAP offers assistance that can help ease the burden.

Why It Matters

With energy prices rising and heat waves or freezing temps becoming more common, it’s harder than ever for low-income families to stay safe and comfortable at home. LIHEAP gives you the support to power through—without the financial pressure.

Who Qualifies

Eligibility is based on your income, household size, and energy needs. Many states also prioritize households with seniors, young children, or individuals with medical conditions.
