Those who need help heating their homes this winter season can begin applying for help today
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, also known as LIHEAP, helps low-income families pay their heating bills.
LIHEAP is an effort of the PA Department of Human Services that offers assistance in the form of a cash grant that is sent directly to the utility company…or a crisis grant for households in immediate danger of being without heat.
According to Miller, many Pennsylvania residents took advantage of this program last year to keep warm through the winter.
Those interested in applying for assistance are asked to long onto the website compass.pa.gov or apply in person at the local county assistance office.
