Heat during the winter is a necessity, not a luxury! Unfortunately, there are folks out there who struggle to keep up with fuel delivery bills and heating equipment maintenance costs, leaving them out in the cold. Luckily, there is a solution through the federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
Through this program, the federal government, and state and local agencies, help low-income residents pay for heating oil and efficiency-related home improvements.
