Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps pay the winter heating bills or summer cooling bills of low income and elderly people.

If you are seeking help, you can call the National Energy Assistance Referral (NEAR) Project toll free at 1-888-674-6327 or you can contact the Philadelphia Electric Company.

Cindy and Rita have been receiving LIHEAP since approximately 1991.  Joe took Rita and Cindy to the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO). They applied for and received LIHEAP.

Cindy moved to Moreland Towers where the money she received from LIHEAP was subtracted from the total bill.
