Home energy assistance (LIHEAP) in every state

Help paying a heating or cooling bill, and emergency help when a shut-off notice has already arrived. Every state runs its own version with its own opening date.

Opening dates and income limits are set by each state and change every year. Where we could not confirm the current figure on the state's own page, we leave it blank and tell you to call.
