Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a federally-funded program that helps low-income households pay for cooling or heating their homes. Miami-Dade County uses LIHEAP to help qualified residents pay their energy bill and offer additional help in cases of energy crisis.
LIHEAP is providing crisis energy assistance to qualified Miami-Dade County residents who are experiencing a hardship in paying their home energy bill due to the pandemic. Eligible households can receive up to $2,000 within a 12-month period.
If your electricity has been disconnected or face disconnection you must visit a Community Resource Center. Appointments are encouraged but walk-ins are welcomed.
