Senior energy assistance, Part II

The previous post takes you to a long questionnaire, with various assistance programs (including health, rent, etc.). Here is information just on LIHEAP  (Low-Income Energy Assistance Program

Do You Need LIHEAP Assistance?

The Campaign for Home Energy Assistance is a coalition representing advocates for LIHEAP — both social service agencies and utility associations — and works in Washington, D.C., to advocate for the program nationally and ensure that it receives adequate federal funding. 
We are not involved in the day-to-day operations of energy assistance programs in any state. 
For that reason, we are unable to answer questions about individual states’ programs, expedite the application process or serve as an intermediary regarding issues at the local level.
Although the Campaign does not deal directly with individuals’ LIHEAP requests, there are 
sources to which you can turn for assistance.

The LIHEAP Clearinghouse provides free telephone and e-mail referrals to people who want to know where to apply for low- income energy assistance. Those seeking help can call the National Energy Assistance Referral (NEAR) project toll-free at 1-866-674-6327 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Eastern Time) or email NEAR at energyassistance@ncat.org. Please include your city, county and state in your email message.
