Who it's for
The Coastal Plain Area Economic Opportunity Authority (Coastal Plain Area EOA), the Community Action Agency in Valdosta, delivers the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for Berrien County. LIHEAP makes a payment toward a household's primary heating or cooling bill for income-eligible households, with crisis help when a shutoff is imminent. Households qualify with income at or below 60% of the state median income; households where every member is 65 or older or homebound are a priority and may apply early each season. Make an appointment with Coastal Plain Area EOA at 229-242-8814.
LIHEAP through Coastal Plain Area EOA is income-tested at or below 60% of the state median income and is first-come, first-served until seasonal funds are exhausted, so this shows as a may-qualify result. Households where everyone is 65+ or homebound may apply early each season.
