Help for Low-Income Customers

• Low-Income Energy Assistance
  Low-income customers are the most vulnerable to fluctuating energy prices, and often must choose between paying their energy bills or buying food and medicine. Increased funding for the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is the most immediate way to guarantee those in need will have energy assistance this winter. 
  
  In addition, utility companies have created programs to help low-income customers, including billing assistance, weatherization help, community development and outreach, and more. Many of these companies also establish fuel funds to help those in need with their utility bills, weatherization repairs, and other programs, at a cost of over $1 billion annually.
