Who We Are |
|
The Bureau
of Energy Assistance administers the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance
Program (LIHEAP). This federally-funded block grant is designed
to aid qualifying households in the payment of a portion of their
residential heating costs for the winter heating season. The
program's energy crisis intervention components are designed
to provide immediate response to alleviate potentially life-threatening
situations, and the client education component of the program
provides funds for activities that encourage regular utility
payments, promote energy awareness and encourage reduction of
energy use through energy efficiency, client education and weatherization.
