The LIHEAP program lowers the energy burden for households by helping with home energy bills—heating costs during the winter and cooling costs during the summer for those who qualify. Arkansas offers this program to make heating your home more affordable.

Under state or federal law, LIHEAP benefits are not considered income/resources for any purpose, including taxation. ​

Applicants can apply for in-person assistance at all open locations during posted business hours.

Households receiving utility subsidies (reimbursement, allowance, or stipend) are not eligible for LIHEAP benefits unless the household can demonstrate an energy burden.

The examples below explains how to determine whether a household has an energy burden.

Example 1

An elderly applicant who lives in subsidized housing and receives $90 per month utility allowance the Housing Authority. Utilities are NOT included in the rent. The applicant receives an electric bill and a gas bill.

In Example 1, although the applicant receives an allowance and is living in subsidized housing, the applicant is eligible for LIHEAP because the applicant receives an energy bill. The applicant must also meet all other eligibility criteria.

Example2

An elderly applicant who lives in subsidized housing and receives $90 per month utility allowance the Housing Authority. Utilities are included in the rent. The applicant DOES NOT receive an energy bill.

In Example 2, because the applicant lives in subsidized housing and does NOT receive an energy bill, the applicant is NOT eligible for LIHEAP. This applicant is not considered to be vulnerable to increases in energy costs and thus do not have an energy burden.
