  Finding Help--Where can I apply for help with my utility or fuel bills?
  Question
  Where can I apply for help with my utility or fuel bills? How can I locate the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) program where I live?
  Answer
 

We do not maintain local energy assistance information at the Federal level. Please contact the agency that administers the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) in your State.  You can find that information through our LIHEAP State Directory at:   http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/liheap/grantees/states.html

Each Directory includes: LIHEAP coordinator's name, address, and telephone number, and if available:

o  the LIHEAP program's e-mail address,

o  public inquiry telephone numbers, many of which are in-state, toll-free telephone numbers, and

o  LIHEAP grantee web sites. In most states, the program is administered locally by Departments of Social Services and/or nonprofit organizations such as  Community Action Agencies and Area Agencies on Aging.

Your LIHEAP agency 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, but your Tribe or Tribal organization is not on the list, it means that you should apply to the state program for help.
