The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a federally funded program administered by several agencies in Lane County. LIHEAP provides financial assistance to low-income households for home heating and energy bills. The program opens in November and remains open until funds are exhausted. Funds are disbursed on a first-come, first-served basis.
