Special crisis funding is available for those struggling financially due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Pennsylvanians struggling to pay home energy bills can apply for help from the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Recovery Crisis program through Aug. 31.
The program can help those hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic insecurity, said Department of Human Services Secretary Teresa Miller.
LIHEAP helps with home energy bills, ensuring continuity of energy service for low-income Pennsylvanians. LIHEAP normally runs from November through April. The Recovery Crisis program runs through August.
LIHEAP Recovery Crisis benefits may be available if a household has had its main or secondary energy source shut off; is notified that utility service will be shut off
