Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
(LIHEAP)
The purpose of the LIHEAP
program is to assist low-income citizens by offsetting the rising cost of home
energy through direct financial assistance, energy counseling, outreach and education.
According to funding availability, ERBA will offer three types of LIHEAP
assistance:
1. Energy Assistance: These one-time payments will apply to all income eligible households. Applicants must prove they are low income and responsible for their home heating costs. Payments are determined by household size, fuel type, and geographic location.
2. Emergency Services: Payments will apply to eligible households that are disconnected from their utility or where they supplier has refused to deliver fuel.
3. Emergency furnace repair to restore a home heating source.
