for home heating aid

Applications for Pennsylvania's Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program are currently available online.

LIHEAP helps low-income families pay their heating bills through home energy assistance grants. Cash grants are awarded based on household income, family size, type of heating fuel and region.

Eligibility is as follows:

Household Size   Income Limit

1                           $16,755
2                           $22,695
3                           $28,635
4                           $34,575
5                           $40,515

Each Additional Person Add $5,940

Crisis grants are also available in the event of a heating emergency, including broken heating equipment or leaking lines that must be fixed or replaced, lack of fuel, termination of utility service or danger of being without fuel or of having utility service terminated. In most counties, assistance with home heating crisis situations is available 24 hours a day.

The completed LIHEAP application should be returned to the county assistance office. Mailing address information is available here.
