Heating assistance available
If you or someone you know will have difficulty paying home heating bills this winter, a federal program could help.

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides home energy assistance to eligible low-income households.

Applications are accepted from Oct. 1-May 31 of each heating season.
Assistance is available for:

• Heating assistance—LIHEAP can pay for a portion of fuel used to heat your home. The amount of benefits depends on your income, the type and size of your home and the type of fuel used to heat your home.
• Making your home energy efficient—The weatherization program helps low-income families make their homes and apartments energy efficient.
• Furnace and chimney cleaning—The program can pay up to $100 to clean and inspect your furnace and/or chimney.
• Emergency assistance—LIHEAP funds are available when there is a home energy emergency that may threaten the life of your family.
• Furnace replacements—Payment for the cost of a furnace is made possible for an eligible household.
• Minor repairs—Minor repairs can be provided if the weatherization services cannot be provided.
• Energy cost reduction devices—Funds are sometimes available to help with installation costs of energy-reducing devices.
