Need Help with High Heating Bills?

With colder temperatures here, AARP Pennsylvania is working to ensure residents know about financial assistance to help with heating bills.

The federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, known as LIHEAP, provides a cash grant to help eligible households cover their heating bill. The money goes directly to the recipient’s utility provider.

The grants range from $200 to $1,000 and are based on factors like household size, income and the type of fuel used. They are available to both homeowners and renters. This year’s application period is open now through Friday, April 4.
