During that period (July 1 – September 30, 2013) only eligible households who did not receive LIHEAP assistance during the previous 12 month period (July 1, 2012 – June 30, 2013) will be served.
Households who did receive LIHEAP assistance during that period of July 1, 2012 – June 30, will not be eligible to apply for new assistance until the new THDA contract period that begins October 1, 2013, pending the availability of LIHEAP funds at that time (contingent upon Congress appropriating funds).
Eligible applications received during the period of July 1, 2012 – June 30, 2013 but not processed by June 30 due to insufficient funds will be processed during the 3 month period until the available funds are exhausted.
It will not be necessary for households having a pending application to complete a new application.
However, during the three months UCHRA will continue to accept applications from households who did not apply for LIHEAP assistance during the previous 12 month period.
LIHEAP offers one-time per year financial assistance to qualifying low-income households.
who require assistance in paying their home heating or cooling bills.
Applicants must have an income less than 150% of the federal poverty level (currently $34,575 for a family of 4).
Vulnerable low-income households (i.e., those having disabled, elderly, and children under age 5) are targeted for service. Based upon a point system that takes into consideration each household’s income, family size, energy burden, and vulnerable members the one-time per year payment to a household’s designated energy source may be $300, $450, or $600 (with some exceptions).
During the current year UCHRA will provide LIHEAP assistance to approximately 7,500 Upper Cumberland households.
