Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Benefits Overview

Managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the LIHEAP program assists eligible low-income households with their heating and cooling energy costs, bill payment assistance, energy crisis assistance, weatherization and energy-related home repairs. Certain states elect to use Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) and TANF funds to provide emergency energy assistance to TANF participants on LIHEAP.
