What is LIHEAP?
The city of Chattanooga’s Office of Family Empowerment announces its new program year for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). This program is for Hamilton County residents and provides assistance for income-eligible families to help in meeting rising home energy costs. The new program year will begin October 1, 2022 and ends September 30, 2023. Eligible applicants will receive a one-time assistance payment and may be received only once per program year. This assistance is applied directly to the applicant’s account with the energy provider. To kick off our new program year we are hosting a drive-thru event for applicants to pick up an application.
