LIHEAP

South Carolina's LIHEAP Program is designed to help the state's low-income households pay the price of home energy, defined as residential heating and cooling, and to increase energy self sufficiency; thereby reducing the vulnerability  resulting from energy needs.  The program is also designed to intervene in energy-related crisis situations (42 U.S.C. 8623(c) and 8624(b)(1)) and to conduct outreach (42 U.S.C. 8624(b)(1)).  The program also provides services to encourage and enable households to reduce home energy needs and consequently eliminating the need for energy assistance including needs assessments, energy and income counseling and assistance with energy vendors (42 U.S.C. 8624(b)(16)).  Payments are made directly to vendors and credited to the applicant's bill.

Services provided are as follows:
