Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Spring Subsidy Cooling

The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Spring Subsidy enrollment will begin on April 15 and run through May 30, 2025.

Eligible households can apply for a one-time benefit depending on housing category, fuel type, and income level to offset the cost of their household’s home heating costs. The benefits are paid directly to the household’s energy vendor. Interested households should contact their local Audubon Area Community Services office

Spring Subsidy DOES NOT require a disconnect notice, a past due bill, or eviction notice. The Subsidy benefit can be applied as a credit on your account. Assistance received during previous LIHEAP components does not affect household’s eligibility.

Spring Subsidy Cooling Component is designed to help offset the cost of a household’s electric cost, providing eligible households a one-time benefit depending on income levels and housing category.

All applicants will be required to supply the following documentation at the time of application:

• Proof of Social Security Number or Permanent Residence card (Green Card) for each member of the household.
• Proof of all household’s (all members) income from the preceding month.
• Most current electric bill, statement from your landlord if electric is included in your rent, statement from utility company if you participate in a Pre-Pay Electric Program.
