Pennsylvania families struggling to pay their heating bills may be eligible for cash assistance through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
The 2026-2027 LIHEAP season is now open. Eligible households can receive a one-time cash grant of between $200 and $1,000, depending on household size, income and fuel type. The grant is paid directly to the utility provider or fuel company and credited to the recipient’s bill.
LIHEAP is administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. More information, including how to apply, is available at pa.gov.
