The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides a one time per year payment for heat (primary utility), and electric, (secondary utility), to income eligible applicants. The LIHEAP Program is able to provide once a year reconnection assistance payments for applicants whose utility has been disconnected for non payment or applicants who are being denied service because of an old bill. LIHEAP is also able to provide emergency furnace repair or replacement for eligible applicants whose furnace does not work or is red tagged by the utility company.

The program closed on May 31, 2010 and will begin again on September 1, 2010. In the meantime, we expect to be able to offer a summer cooling program in late July 2010 for elderly and vulnerable populations. Watch this website for more details as soon as they are available.
