Stay Cool with LIHEAP
Did you know that heating assistance is available in all 50 states? But that’s not all! Some states, including Maine, also offer cooling assistance during the warmer months. Unfortunately, Maine does not provide cooling assistance, but there are other states that do.
LIHEAP (Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program) provides cooling assistance in 28 states and Washington, D.C. Each jurisdiction offers different amounts of money to help low-income citizens stay cool when the temperatures rise. These funds can be used for various purposes, such as purchasing, installing, or repairing air conditioning units and heat pumps. Additionally, they can cover electric bills or security deposits for operating cooling equipment.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to receive heating bill assistance in Maine. Apply on July 17 and ensure a warm and comfortable home for the upcoming season. Act now and secure the support you need!
