Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program assistance with heating and cooling costs

Number of assisted households, by type of LHEAP assistance, as reported by States, fiscal year 2003

The data below are derived from States' LIHEAP Household Reports that were submitted to the Office of Community Services as part of each grantee's application for FY 2003 LIHEAP funds.

LIHEAP household data reported by the states do not reflect only households that were assisted with FY 2003 LIHEAP funds (regular LIHEAP allotment, LIHEAP emergency contingency allotment, and leveraging incentive awards). Households also could have been assisted in FY 2003 with funds from the following sources:

  • unobligated FY 2002 leveraging incentive awards obligated in FY 2003,
  • FY 2002 regular LIHEAP allotment carried over to FY 2003, and
  • obligated FY 2002 LIHEAP funds expended in FY 2003.
Note-From Appendix D of the LIHEAP Report to Congress for FY 2003.
