Updated LIHEAP Application Available
Summer LIHEAP applications are now being accepted!
LIHEAP is a federally funded program that assists low income households with their home energy costs. Priority will be given to applicants who meet the income guidelines and have NOT received assistance from DHS, Cherokee Nation, or any other federally funded program within the past 6 months (once a year for heating and once a year for cooling.) We will verify with each federal program for confirmation of whether or not assistance has already been received for the current season.
The tribe has (7-14) business days to process an application. Once processed, we have up to 14 days to submit payment after we have pledged the account. It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide the information requested and only fully completed applications will be processed.
