Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)

Each winter, thousands of Central Oregon households get help with their utility bills through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). LIHEAP is a federally funded program through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NeighborImpact also provides assistance to help households prevent utility shut-offs. Funds for this program come from:

• Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
• Oregon Energy Assistance Program (OEAP – for Pacific Power customers)
• Cascade Natural Gas Company's Winter Help Program
• Oregon HEAT (for Pacific Power customers)
• Local donations

Help is available based on funding. Call the regional line 541-504-2155 or phone number for the local office for more information:
