LIHEAP Plan Public Participation

LIHEAP Components:

LIHEAP eligibility is based on income, household size, available resources, and responsibility for payment of home energy. Households are not eligible for LIHEAP if someone who does not reside at the residence pays the utility bill directly to the energy provider.
  • The Energy Crisis Assistance Program (ECAP) provides assistance for households with a verifiable energy crisis including the loss of heating or cooling. Energy crisis assistance for households with a life-threatening medical situation is accepted year-round.
  • The non-emergency summer cooling program provides assistance with a one-time payment per fiscal year to the energy company providing the main source of cooling for the household. Open enrollment begins each year in June.
  • The non-emergency winter heating program provides assistance with a one-time payment per fiscal year to the energy company providing the main source of heating for the household. Open enrollment begins each year in December.
