LIHEAP Program to Begin October 1, 2026

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) will commence on October 1, 2026, providing essential support to residents facing challenges with home energy costs. Managed by the South Central Human Resource Agency, this program aims to assist those who may struggle to pay their energy bills, ensuring that households can maintain a safe and comfortable living environment.

To participate in the LIHEAP program, residents must submit a new application. This process requires several specific documents. Applicants need to provide a photo ID to verify their identity. Additionally, a recent utility bill must be submitted to confirm current energy costs. Proof of household income for the previous four weeks is also necessary to assess eligibility based on financial need. Lastly, Social Security cards for all household members are required as part of the documentation process.

Applications for the program can be submitted in two ways: online or by phone. This flexibility allows residents to choose the method that is most convenient for them. However, the announcement regarding the program did not specify exact locations or times for application submission, which may be important for potential applicants to consider.

For those seeking more information about the LIHEAP program, individuals are encouraged to contact the South Central Human Resource Agency directly. They can be reached at 931-762-7863. This contact number provides further details and assistance regarding the application process and any other inquiries related to the program.
