Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP)

Provides assistance with energy bills to eligible low-income households through regular or crisis assistance. Households must have a total household income below 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. To qualify for crisis assistance, the low-income family must have a cut off notice and either an elderly or disabled member, or a child under 12 months of age. This program has an intake month for each county and continues to run throughout the year. Eligible households that cannot be serviced due to a lack of funding are placed on a waiting list until the end of our fiscal year. Interested households should contact their local Community Service Center.
