Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)

LIHEAP CRISIS

December 3, 2025 to April 10, 2026; contingent on the availability of funds

If you face shut off due to lack of payments or an unsafe utility condition, you can get a grant. These federally funded crisis grants may be applied to accounts where service has been shut off for safety or non-payment and may be used to halt a pending shut off during the winter months.  For more information, please visit the state’s LIHEAP resource page at LIHEAP (PA.gov). You can also reach out to us via our Energy Assistance Hotline at 1-800-272-2714 for more information regarding LIHEAP or additional assistance programs.
