LIHEAP Financial Assistance

LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) offers financial assistance and peace of mind to tri-state area residents. Cash grants and crisis grants are available to low-income families in danger of losing heating. Eligible households may apply for these grants through the PA Department of Human Services yearly when the program opens.

 LIHEAP runs from 11/4/24 to 4/4/25 

Anyone who received a LIHEAP grant last year will be sent an application or post card in September with a token # that will allow those customers to apply before the official start of the season.  You can apply online or using a mobile app.  Even if you received LIHEAP the prior year, you MUST RE-APPLY every year! Previous customers may apply early and get approved before the season starts.
