Lassen Economic Development Corporation has Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funds available to help with heating costs for low income households in Lassen County. Residents may be eligible for a payment ranging from $198 to $750 to be sent directly to their propane, kerosene, natural gas or electricity company on their account.
Nationwide, according to the agency, only 3% of households eligible for LIHEAP apply for the program, as many people don’t believe they will income qualify or want to save it for someone who “needs it more.” Don’t miss out due to this myth. This funding is here for you.
A single person making $2,296.93 per month qualifies and a family of four making $4,417.17 per month does as well.
Due to funds provided by the CARES ACT you can apply even if you already received LIHEAP assistance in 2020.
Lassen County residents can get an application by calling Lassen Economic Development Corporation at 530-256-3531.
You can also pick up an application in Susanville at LMUD, Ed Staub & Sons, City of Susanville, Lassen Career Network, Lassen Family Services, Crossroad Ministries or Salvation Army. In Doyle or Herlong visit the local Family Resource Center. Westwood residents can stop by our office at 200 HWY A-21.
