The Upper East Tennessee Human Development Agency’s LIHEAP Outreach RV will be throughout our region helping those needing assistance with their energy bills.
LIHEAP stands for Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. This program helps keep individuals and families safe and healthy through initiatives that assist with energy costs.
This is a one-time benefit between October 1,2024 and September 30, 2025. For those who qualify, a payment is sent directly to the recipient’s utility company and is credited to their bill. Payments can take up to 90 days to be applied. Priority is given to the low-income, energy burdened, disabled, elderly, homes with young children under 6, veterans, and large households. Last year, UETHDA provided LIHEAP funding to 10,262 households, totaling more than 6.4 million dollars.
