INEZ — Households can apply for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Fall Subsidy on a first-come, first-served basis through Dec. 15 at their local Big Sandy Area Community Action Program office.

LIHEAP Fall Subsidy provides households with a one-time benefit ranging from $34 to $274, depending on housing category, fuel type used for heating, and income level. Benefits can be applied toward home heating costs for electricity, natural gas, propane, coal, wood or fuel oil and are paid directly to the household’s fuel vendor.

Households must meet eligibility requirements, including income eligibility of up to and including 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Prior LIHEAP assistance does not impact a household’s eligibility.
