You may be eligible for assistance through the Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP). This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/walsh-with-the-insane-equality-act-the-democrat-party-has-declared-total-war-on-reality\/\" title=\"WALSH: With The Insane \u2018Equality Act,\u2019 The Democrat Party Has Declared Total War On Reality\">federally funded program<\/a> was created to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-judge-halts-biden-administration-program-that-discriminated-against-white-farmers-saying-lawsuit-could-be-successful\/\" title=\"Federal Judge Halts Biden Administration Program That Discriminated Against White Farmers, Saying Lawsuit Could Be Successful\">provide economic relief<\/a> during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring that households can afford to pay for water in their homes.<\/p>\n<h3>Why LIHWAP?<\/h3>\n<p>Utility costs are rising nationwide, and many communities are feeling the effects of inflation. LIHWAP offers aid to eligible customers who have water services through public pipelines. This program can help ease the financial burden of water bills for those who qualify.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Apply<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to see if you qualify for LIHWAP assistance, schedule an appointment through your local Community Action Agency. You can find out which agency covers your area by emailing LIHEAP-CSBG-LIHWAP@dhs.ga.gov or visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.georgiacaa.org\">www.georgiacaa.org<\/a>. Additional resources for LIHWAP can be found on an informational document located at the bottom of the website for LIHWAP of Georgia.<\/p>\n<h3>Eligibility Requirements<\/h3>\n<p>To be eligible for LIHWAP, your water supply must come from a registered vendor for the program with the Department of Human Services. You must also have a total gross income at or below 60% of Georgia\u2019s median income guidelines and be a U.S. citizen or lawfully permitted immigrant.<\/p>\n<h3>How Much Money Can You Save?<\/h3>\n<p>The amount of money you can save on your water bill through LIHWAP depends on your household size, income, and composition. If you have a past due amount, you may be provided with either a $200 or $300 benefit toward your current bill. If you don&#8217;t have a past due bill, you may still see a $200 or $300 payment.<\/p>\n<h3>Deadline<\/h3>\n<p>Applications for LIHWAP opened for Georgia residents on November 1, 2021, and payments began rolling out in 2022. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, states have until December 31 to liquefy the LIHWAP funds, meaning grant recipients must liquidate or expend funds by this deadline.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Don&#8217;t let <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lihwap-utility-payments-direct-payments-of-200-or-300-for-georgia-residents\/\" title=\"Georgia residents can receive direct payments of 0 or 0 for LIHWAP utility payments.\">high water bills add<\/a> to your financial stress.
