Pennsylvania’s Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is now open until April 16, Rep. Robert Godshall (R-Montgomery) announced today. 

The LIHEAP program is administered by the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) and helps income-eligible households pay for heat during the winter months. 

The LIHEAP program was scheduled to close April 2, but the program has been extended another two weeks to end April 16. 

DPW has helped nearly 500,000 families through cash and crisis grants since the program opened last November for the current season. 

Applications will be available at the Montgomery County Assistance Office at 1931 New Hope St., Norristown, or by calling (610) 272-1752. Applications are also available from local utility companies and community service agencies, such as Area Agencies on Aging or community action agencies.  LIHEAP cash grant applications are available online at compass.state.pa.us.
