The Department of Public Welfare has kicked off the start of the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program application process for the 2014-15 season.
LIHEAP provides assistance for home heating bills to keep low-income Pennsylvanians warm and safe during the winter months.
Aid is available to renters and homeowners.
Online applications can be completed by visiting compass.state.pa.us.
Paper applications are still available through local county assistance offices, or interested applicants can download and print an application from the department's website.
For helpful tips on keeping warm throughout the winter while saving money on utility costs, visit energysavers.gov.
