The Upper East Tennessee Energy Assistance Program LIHEAP Outreach RV will be throughout the region helping those needing assistance. The Low Income Energy Assistance Program is a federally funded program that helps low-income households with their home energy bills.

To be fair and follow THDA’s guidelines, UETHDA uses a priority point system to allocate its limited funds. Some who qualify for assistance may not receive enough points to be funded at this time. For those who qualify, a payment is sent directly to the recipient’s utility company and is credited to their bill. Payments can take 90 days or longer to be applied. Please continue to pay your bill.

Priority is given to the low-income, energy-burdened, disabled, elderly, homes with young children under 6, veterans and large households. Nationwide, LIHEAP provides energy assistance to roughly 6.7 million households.
