Client Self-SufficiencyWhile LIHEAP was established to help pay home energy costs for low-income households and provide energy efficiency measures, historically grantees have attempted to expand that role by providing services that help clients attain energy self-sufficiency, thereby reducing dependency on LIHEAP. These services, often conducted in coordination with energy vendors or other low-income programs, have included energy-efficiency education and energy case management. The 1990 reauthorization of LIHEAP included two new provisions, The Residential Energy Assistance Challenge Program (REACH), and Assurance 16, which provide funding to assist grantees in helping clients attain energy self-sufficiency.
