Kentucky households can apply for LIHEAP Crisis from January 6 to March 27, 2026, to help with heating emergencies during the colder months.
Eligible households with income up to 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines and experiencing a heating crisis may qualify for assistance. This program covers heating costs for electric, natural gas, propane, coal, wood, or fuel oil. Benefits are paid directly to the energy vendor, and a disconnect notice, past-due bill, or eviction notice is required to apply.
Assistance received during previous LIHEAP components does not affect eligibility. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Contact your local Community Action Agency to apply. To find your local outreach office, visit capky.org/network.
