October 31, 2022 - Enola, PA
Department of Human Services (DHS) Office of Income Maintenance Deputy Secretary Inez Titus and Public Utility Commission (PUC) Chair Gladys Brown Dutrieuille visited Tri County Community Action in Enola today to announce the start of the annual Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) application process for the 2022-23 season. LIHEAP is a federally funded program administered by DHS that provides assistance for home heating bills so Pennsylvanians with low incomes can stay warm and safe during the winter months. Assistance is available for renters and homeowners. The LIHEAP application period for both cash and crisis grants is open from November 1, 2022, to April 28, 2023. “LIHEAP helps some of the commonwealth’s most vulnerable people – children, older Pennsylvanians, people with disabilities, and families with low incomes – make ends meet and keep their home safe through the winter,” said Deputy Secretary Titus. “Nobody should ever have to worry that their heat will be shut off during the coldest and darkest months of the year, so I encourage anyone who may need help, or anyone who has loved ones or neighbors who could benefit from this program, to apply for LIHEAP today.”List of Speakers:Department of Human Services (DHS) Office of Income Maintenance Deputy Secretary Inez Titus Public Utility Commission (PUC) Chair Gladys Brown Dutrieuille PUC Vice Chair Stephen DeFrank PUC Commissioner Kathryn Zerfuss Danielle Krebs, Communications Manager, Tri County Community Action
