LIHEAP turns 40! Please click the image above to visit LIHEAP's 40th Anniversary page to learn more about the program's creation and its four decades of positive impact supporting millions of low-income households each year.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps keep families safe and healthy through initiatives that assist families with energy costs. We provide federally funded assistance in managing costs associated with home energy bills, energy crises, weatherization and energy-related minor home repairs.
LIHEAP can help you stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer through programs that reduce the risk of health and safety problems that arise from unsafe heating and cooling practices.
