Applications for Arkansas’ Summer Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, open Monday, offering financial assistance to eligible households. The federally funded program helps qualifying residents pay their summer cooling bills.
Assistance is available in every Arkansas county, with applications handled by community-based organizations that serve each area. LIHEAP provides both regular and crisis assistance to help eligible households avoid utility shutoffs during periods of extreme heat. Payments are made directly to the customer’s energy provider.
State officials encourage eligible Arkansans to apply early, as funding is limited and assistance is available while funds last.
