About This Program

LIHEAP provides federally funded energy bill assistance and crisis grants to income-qualified California households, helping pay heating, cooling, and emergency energy bills. In Santa Clara County, benefits range from $94-$1,500 for heating and up to $932 for cooling. While not a home improvement grant, LIHEAP directly reduces the financial burden of operating home systems, freeing funds for repairs.
