The Pennsylvania Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a federally-funded program that helps low income households pay their heating bills through energy assistance grants.

LIHEAP is administered by the Department of Public Welfare and consists of three components:  See them here..

  1. Cash benefits to help eligible low-income households pay for their home-heating fuel;
  2. Crisis payments, if needed, to resolve weather-related, supply shortage, and other household energy-related emergencies; and
  3. Energy conservation and weatherization measures to address long-range solutions to the home-heating problems of low-income households.

LIHEAP is not a public assistance program. Eligible low-income households will not have an effect on their eligibility for public assistance and grant amounts is not affected by receipt of LIHEAP benefits.
