LIHEAP Crisis Assistance is available year-round, as funding allows, to alleviate a crisis situation for households that have received a disconnect notice or are facing disconnection of services with heat or electric services. Eligibility guidelines are 60% of the State Median Income for household sizes 1-7 and 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for household sizes 8+ based on income from the prior month and being at risk of disconnect/disconnected with utility services.
