Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Beginning November 1st, the LIHEAP program opens up to anyone to apply and runs through April 30th. LIHEAP approved households are protected under the moratorium from November 1 to April 1 and cannot be disconnected. Household members who have a disconnect notice on or after November 1st and have completed a LIHEAP application, can notify their heating or electric vendor that they have applied. This will give them 30 days that they cannot be disconnected while we process their application. Do I qualify for LIHEAP?
Those in need of a translated application can complete one here.
Online applications will close at 12:00 AM on May 1, 2025. Paper applications will not be accepted after May 1, 2025. Individuals with a disconnect notice must apply through the Crisis Assistance program.
Crisis Utility Assistance
If you have a disconnect notice, or have missed a pay arrangement for April 1, 2025 or after, you can schedule an appointment below. If you have already been approved for LIHEAP this season, you do not need to fill out a new application. Those who have not been approved will need to fill out the application above.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION
