Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)

With the weather getting colder and heating bills going up, LIHEAP can help. This program assists eligible households with the following:

• Bill payment assistance
• Energy crisis assistance
• Weatherization
• Energy-related home repairs

Applications are accepted November 1 through April 30. The maximum income for a one-person household is $25,760 and $53,000 for a four-person household. The income criteria are on the
LIHEAP website, https://humanrights.iowa.gov/dcaa/liheap/eligibility. If you are receiving Iowa food assistance (SNAP), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance Program for Needy Families (TANF), or certain needs-tested Veterans’ benefits, you may also automatically qualify.

You can apply at your local community action agency. You can find yours by visiting, https://humanrights.iowa.gov/dcaa/where-apply.
