LIHEAP is a program that pays for home heating assistance each winter. Homeowners and most renters can get LIHEAP if they can show they are responsible for heating costs and have income that is less than 150% of Federal Income Guidelines.

- LIHEAP Cash: Grants toward your heating bill will range from $300-$1000
- LIHEAP Crisis: Pays up to $1,000 to stop a shut-off of utility service, get service turned back on, or get fuel
- LIHEAP Crisis Interface: Provides for the repair or replacement of the heating system or furnace
