The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) in Missouri is available for winter heating bills. While not as common, from time to time assistance can be provided during the summer for cooling/air conditioning bills too. The summer component is usually only offered for those who are most at risk.
There are two main parts to the Missouri program. For those who are facing an emergency or disconnection, the Energy Crisis Intervention Program may be able to assist. Other low income families can apply for the standard Energy Assistance component.
Families who are interested in getting more information or applying need to contact their Community Action Agency in Missouri. For winter aid, applications are accepted from October through March. Seniors and disabled can sometimes apply even earlier, such as September. Low income seniors, families with children, and the disabled are given priority in Missouri.
Grant money and funds are disbursed on a first come, first serve basis to those who qualify. So do not wait to apply to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. If you are facing a crisis or disconnection, those application and funds are expedited.
After applying, the exact amount of cash assistance, vouchers, and benefits paid out will vary. The federal government, which provides the money to the state of Missouri and the community action agency, will take into consideration the type and price of fuel used by the applicant, their household size, and of course total income.
Both renters and homeowners can apply for utility bill assistance from LIHEAP. Families that live in public or government housing in Missouri can also be qualified, if they meet the typical income levels.
