Program details
How it works
The City of Chattanooga says its Office of Family Empowerment administers the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program for Hamilton County. The page says assistance is applied directly to the applicant’s account with the energy provider.
What the money covers
This is bill-payment assistance for home energy costs, not a home-repair grant. The city describes two types of help: Regular LIHEAP and Crisis LIHEAP for households facing a shut-off notice or another emergency energy situation.
Amounts and matching
The official page does not state a fixed dollar amount. It says approval amounts are based on energy burden and income.
How to apply
The city says applications and required documents are submitted online via a link, QR code, or text message. The page also says applicants need a valid email address and that only one email address per household is allowed.
Timing and deadlines
The official page says assistance may be received only once per program year. It also notes that funds for the 2025-2026 cycle had not been released yet at the time the page was crawled, so current availability may vary.
