Applications are now being accepted for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps Pennsylvania families pay their heating bills during the coldest months. Pennsylvanians may apply for cash assistance of $200 to $1,000 until April 4, 2025, based on household size, income, and fuel type. The one-time payment will be sent directly to your utility provider. Applicants do not need to be on public assistance or have unpaid heating bills to qualify.
