The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) application period begins November 1st for qualified Iowans seeking winter heating assistance. The LIHEAP program is designed to help low-income homeowners and renters pay a portion of their primary home heating costs through a one-time payment made directly to the utility or heating fuel vendor.

This program is not designed to pay a household’s total energy costs. The program will provide supplemental assistance based on several factors. Those factors include total household income, household size, dwelling type, and type of heating fuel, among others.

You can apply online between November 1, 2023 and April 30, 2024.
