Program Description

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps eligible low-income households pay their electric bills. LIHEAP can help with past-due energy bills, and crisis assistance may be available if youve received a shut-off notice, or your service has already been disconnected. Eligible households may also receive a Home Energy benefit, which provides a payment sent directly to your utility company to help lower your energy costs. To apply, go to FloridaLIHEAP.com
