Program details

How it works

IHCDA administers the Energy Assistance Program, Indiana’s version of LIHEAP. The program helps low-income Hoosiers pay heat and electric bills and can help if a customer is disconnected or about to be disconnected.

What the money covers

The official page describes utility bill assistance only. It is not presented as a home repair or hardening program.

Amounts and matching

The page says the program provides a one-time annual benefit, but it does not state a single statewide dollar amount on the page excerpt available.

Timing and deadlines

The page gives appeal timing information but no universal open/close date on the page excerpt.
