LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) offers financial assistance and peace of mind to tri-state area residents. Cash grants and crisis grants are available to low-income families in danger of losing heating. Eligible households may apply for these grants through the PA Department of Human Services yearly when the program opens.
LIHEAP runs from 11/2/26 to 4/9/27
Anyone who received a LIHEAP grant last year will be sent an application or post card in September with a token # that will allow those customers to apply before the official start of the season. Online applications for the 2026/27 LIHEAP Season will be accepted from LAST Season's LIHEAP recipients beginning Monday, August 24th. Paper applications are mailed to LIHEAP recipients from last year who didn't apply online. You can apply online or using a mobile app. Even if you received LIHEAP the prior year, you MUST RE-APPLY every year! Previous customers may apply early and get approved before the season starts.
