Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Social Services will begin accepting applications November 5, 2009.
This program is designed to provide a one time heating assistance payment for citizens living in the Service Area to help with high-energy costs during the winter months. Income eligible citizens will receive a one-time payment, paid directly to the energy provider, to the maximum amount they are eligible for under the guidelines. These payments will be made on a first come first serve basis. In addition, shut-off notices will be paid in the same manner, on a one-time basis, to the maximum amount available through program funding.
The Income Guidelines are as follows:
| Household Size | Income Limit |
|---|
| 1 | 23,446 |
| 2 | 30,661 |
| 3 | 37,875 |
| 4 | 45,089 |
| 5 | 52,304 |
| 6 | 59,518 |
** For family units of more than 6 members, add 3% to 132% for each additional member, and multiply the new percentage by $45,089.
