Posted on Aug 8, 2023 in sliderLIHEAP
The Hawaii Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides heating and cooling to needy Hawaii households by assisting with one-time payments toward their utility bill (electric or gas) in two ways:
- Energy Crisis Intervention (ECI) – a crisis program to assist households that are on the verge or have had their utility service terminated.
- Energy Credit (EC) – non-crisis program to assist households with heating and/or cooling of their residences with bill payment. This program has a limited application period, June only. Application periods are announced via the Hawaiian Electric Newsletter, Ho`oku`i, and on your Hawaii Gas bill each year.
