For Further Assistance

There are other resources available to help low- and moderate-income households with their energy needs.  Click on the links below to see some of the programs that are available in your state.

One important source of assistance is your state Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).  Congress significantly increased funding for LIHEAP last winter, as well as increased the incomes at which families were eligible to receive LIHEAP assistance.  Please contact your state LIHEAP office for further details and information about eligibility.
