Dept. Of Human Services Begins Accepting Applications For Low-Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) Dec. 3, After Federal Shutdown Delay

On November 14, the Department of Human Services announced the state will open the 2025 – 2026
Low‑Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) season for applications on December 3, now that the federal government shutdown has ended. 

Pennsylvania anticipates receiving $219 million to fund the 2025 – 2026 program, which is appropriated through Congress. 

The state also has approximately $9 million in carryover funding from FY 2025 that will be applied to the program. 

Over 60,000 Pennsylvania households participate in LIHEAP and rely on deliverable fuels during the winter months.
