LIHEAP Utility Assistance — Help With Energy Bills

Overview

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps low-income households pay their energy bills. In Texas, BakerRipley and other community action agencies administer LIHEAP funds to eligible Houston families. Benefits can cover electricity and natural gas bills. To qualify, your household income must be at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level. Applications open periodically — check the BakerRipley website for current availability. Bring a recent utility bill and proof of income to your appointment.
