The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a federal program in the United States designed to help low-income households manage their energy costs. It provides financial assistance for heating and cooling bills, as well as emergency services for those facing energy crises. The program aims to ensure that vulnerable families can maintain a safe and comfortable living environment. LIHEAP is administered by state and local agencies, which determine eligibility based on income and household size. Eligible participants can receive benefits to help pay for energy bills, weatherization services, and energy-related home repairs, promoting energy efficiency and reducing overall costs.
