The 2019-2020 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) has been established to help qualifying low income Iowa homeowners and renters pay for a portion of their primary heating costs for the winter heating season.

Applications are being accepted now and will be taken until April 30, 2020.

This program is not designed to pay a household’s total energy costs. The program will provide supplemental assistance based on several factors. Those factors include total household income, household size, dwelling type and type of heating fuel.

For guidelines and an appointment in Webster County, call Upper Des Moines Outreach Office at 576-7774. The office is located at 1325 First Ave. S.
