Winter Heating Assistance Available Through LIHEAP

Winter Heating Assistance Now Available through LIHEAP

I know that right now that we are definitely in the heat of the summer but it's never too early to prepare for the winter especially if you have been having high heating bills and want or need some financial help to help with your heating bill.

this is just another great example of the various forms of free money that is out there and available for those who are eligible!

Assistance is now available to help low-income households pay for a variety of home heating fuel sources and furnace repairs this winter.

Thousands of Pennsylvanians are eligible to receive heating assistance under the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

Grants are based on income, family size, regional cost of living and heating fuel types.

Income eligibilty limits for LIHEAP are based on the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines, with a family of four's annual household income not exceeding $17,655.

Funding for these programs is limited, and the programs are open only a short time.

To apply for assistance, eligible individuals should write or visit the:
