Pennsylvania Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program

LIHEAP

 

The Pennsylvania Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps low-income households pay for heating bills through energy assistance grants and crisis grants.

Eligible households could receive grants of $300-$1000 to help with heating costs. The 2022-2023 program opens on November 1st, 2022 and is scheduled to close on April 28th, 2023. There are three ways to apply for LIHEAP: online application, paper application or in person. Visit the LIHEAP Benefit Amount Table to see how much help your household could receive. The income requirements start at $20,385 for a 1-person household. There are two types of LIHEAP grants available.

LIHEAP Cash Grants vary from $300 to $1000 based on household size, region, income and fuel type. A household is eligible for only one regular LIHEAP grant per heating season.

LIHEAP Crisis Grants are authorized by the County Assistance Office to prevent a household from being without heat. The crisis grant maximum for the season is $1000.

For more information or to apply, visit the LIHEAP Heating Assistance page or call the LIHEAP hotline at 866-857-7095, Monday through Friday.
