Since its inception in 1981, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program has provided short-term assistance to families throughout the United States.
The Central Georgia Community Action Agency is proud to participate in this successful program and to be able to help families in their community get help with energy assistance when they need it most.
MGCAA helps eligible households make a one-time payment to their main heat supplier.
Families where each member is 65 or older or is homebound are preferred and can be contacted by phone at the designated location beginning the first business day of November each year.
Other households entitled to income can make appointments from the first working day in December, if the funds remain.
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%.
