The city of Chattanooga’s Office of Family Empowerment announced its new program year for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). This program is for Hamilton County residents and provides assistance for income-eligible families to help in meeting rising home energy costs.
The new program year will begin Oct.
1 and ends Sept. 30, 2023. Eligible applicants will receive a one-time assistance payment and may be received only once per program year. This assistance is applied directly to the applicant's account with the energy provider. To kick off our new program year the office is hosting a drive-thru event for applicants to pick up an application.
It will be Monday all day at South Chattanooga Community Center, 1151 W 40th St.
Office of Family Empowerment staff will be stationed outside the South Chattanooga Community Center parking lot to hand out applications and speak with applicants.
