  • About Catholic Charities - New Castle County Office

    The Federal Government-funded Low Income Home-Aid Program helps households that need help with energy costs at home.
    Landlords and tenants, at 200% of the federal poverty guidelines qualify.
    Although the program does not cover all heating costs, it is an important financial supplement.
    During the summer months, help is provided with cooling the houses, provided funds are available.
    Applications for heating aid are considered from 1 October to 31 March of each year.



    The Low Income Home Energy Assistance program is called LIHEAP. They assist low income people and families with their heating and cooling bills. This program is therefore, a year long program that is available 12 months a year. To qualify for the LIHEAP assistance, you need to qualify. We provide the current Federal Poverty Rates nationwide below.

    You are automatically qualified for LIHEAP assistance if you participate in the SNAP food stamps program, TANF Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or the SSI program through Social Security.

    *Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
    These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get legal aid from some offices, they use a sliding fee scale. When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
