The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Outreach RV will be throughout our region in February helping those needing assistance with their energy bills.
This program helps keep individuals and families safe and healthy through initiatives that assist with energy costs. 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, funding was provided to 11,730 households, totaling more than $5.7M.
