LIHEAP offers cooling assistance
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) can help households stay safe and cool by providing help with paying electric bills in summer months to qualifying individuals and families. Beginning on July 1, applications are accepted on a first-come, firstserved basis, as long as funds are available. Businesses are excluded from receiving the benefit.
LIHEAP is not administered by your local cooperative, but rather through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). It is operated by Community Action Agencies.
Check eligibility at your local Community Action Agency (acaaa.org).
