Lawton, OK – According to the state officials, this federally-funded program helps income-eligible families with their winter heating utility bills.
State officials also said that applications are accepted online here.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program is offered two times a year for winter heating and summer cooling.
Additionally, the Energy Crisis Assistance Program is offered mid-March, and life-threatening crisis assistance is available year-round.
Eligible households already receiving assistance through Oklahoma Human Services can be pre-authorized to receive LIHEAP for the winter heating period, which means they do not need to complete an application.
Households that are not pre-authorized but currently receive assistance through the agency have been notified by mail and should apply online.
