The Department of Public Welfare (DPW) offers the Commonwealth\'s proposed Plan for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for public review and comment.
LIHEAP is a Federally-funded program which enables the State to help low-income households meet their home heating needs.
LIHEAP is administered by DPW and consists of three components: cash benefits to help eligible low-income households pay for their home-heating fuel; crisis payments, if needed, to resolve weather-related, supply shortage, and other household energy-related emergencies; and energy conservation and weatherization measures to address long-range solutions to the home-heating problems of low-income households. Energy Conservation and Weatherization services and certain related crisis payments are provided by the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), under its Weatherization Assistance Program in compliance with the Department of Energy and the Title XXVI requirements.
