Ease the burden of energy costs
As energy prices rise, many Alabama families don’t realize they may qualify for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) — a federally funded program that helps households manage the high cost of heating and cooling.
With LIHEAP, eligible households can receive:
- Financial Assistance: Direct help paying energy bills for heating and cooling your home.
- Emergency Utility Help: Assistance when facing a shutoff or other urgent energy-related crisis.
Why apply now?
Alabama’s LIHEAP program opens October 1. That makes this the perfect time to begin your application and secure support for the upcoming season.
LIHEAP is administered through community action agencies and local nonprofit agencies across Alabama, specifically targeting low-income households — especially those with the lowest incomes and highest energy needs. Priority assistance goes to vulnerable household members including the elderly, persons with disabilities, and young children.
Through Benefits Navigator, Gulf Coast Federal Credit Union members are finding real, personalized support. Many are uncovering savings worth hundreds — and in some cases thousands — of dollars per month.
