LIHEAP

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program

The Community Services Division offers several programs to assist low-income Energy Wise households with their heating and electric bills.

The federal Low-income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) pays a portion of the winter heating costs of eligible households through a one-time payment to the heating supplier. Applications are accepted from November 1 through April 30 each year at all Community Services Site Offices.

If you or someone you know needs help, call (515) 283-4180 for the location of your nearest site office. Community Services can assist you in developing a bill payment plan and help negotiate service reinstatement with the utility company.
