The program may or may not be called "LIHEAP" or Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. In a number of States, it is called HEAP (Home Energy Assistance Program). Other States use other variations of the federal program name or a completely different name.

To find the name of your state's energy assistance program, click on the name of your State when you go our Directory of State LIHEAP agencies at:  http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/liheap/grantees/states.html

In most States, there is a heating or cooling assistance and home energy crisis assistance, which also may have different program names. A number of States may also offer weatherization services.

In addition, there may be other programs operated by your LIHEAP agency, local utility company, or local charity to help pay for your home heating and/or cooling costs. Your LIHEAP grantee also may be able to direct you to other community resources for which you might qualify for help with your home energy bills.

If you are a tribal member, go to our Directory of Tribal LIHEAP agencies at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/liheap/grantees/tribes.html

If your Tribe or Tribal organization is not listed in the Directory, you should apply to the state program for help.
