How to apply for Low Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) — Yuma County

Western Arizona Council of Governments (WACOG) Community Services (Community Action Agency), delivering Arizona DES LIHEAP

Who it's for

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps income-eligible households in Yuma County pay heating and cooling bills, and can help with a past-due balance or a shutoff. In this region the program is delivered by the Western Arizona Council of Governments (WACOG) Community Services department, the local Community Action Agency, under the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES). Apply through WACOG. The amount of help depends on household income, size, and energy costs.

LIHEAP is income-based (generally up to 60% of Arizona's state median income; limits are set each program year). The final award depends on income, household size, and energy cost, so this shows as a may-qualify result. Apply through the local Community Action Agency, WACOG Community Services.

What you'll need

  • Proof of household income for all members (pay stubs, benefit letters)
  • Proof of Yuma County residency and household size
  • A recent utility/energy bill
  • Photo ID and Social Security numbers or documentation for household members
