Rendell restores some cuts to LIHEAP program
1/11/2010
Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell has restored some funding for the state’s Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program - better known as LIHEAP – and extended availability of the program to April 2nd, 2010.
The federally-funded LIHEAP helps income-eligible households pay for heat during the winter months and is administered by the Department of Public Welfare.
Rendell announced that cash grant amounts will be increased by $100.
The governor also said that if the federal government release additional contingency funds as it has done in previous years, Pennsylvania would be positioned to increase grant amounts to vulnerable households - those over 60, with a disability or with children aged five and under.
He said that the extension of the program through April 2nd will mean an additional 80,000 households will receive help paying for their heat, DPW expects to assist approximately 126,000 households this season. Crisis grants are offered to resolve heating emergencies, such as furnace failures or unexpected fuel shortages. In addition to proof of income and household size, applicants must provide a recent bill or a statement from their fuel dealer verifying their customer status and the type of fuel that they use.
Applications are available at county assistance offices, local utility companies and community service agencies. Applications for LIHEAP cash grants are available online here.
