How to apply for Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) — Bibb County
Georgia DHS / Division of Family & Children Services — delivered locally through the Macon-Bibb area Community Action Agency
Who it's for
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps Bibb County households pay home heating and cooling bills, with a seasonal payment and crisis help when a shutoff is imminent. Households qualify with income at or below 60% of the state median income, and seniors 65 and older and the medically homebound can apply early each season. In Macon-Bibb, LIHEAP is delivered locally through the area's designated Community Action Agency. Apply through the local Community Action Agency or DFCS; help is first-come, first-served until funds run out.
LIHEAP is income-tested at or below 60% of the state median income and is first-come, first-served through the local Community Action Agency until seasonal funds are exhausted, so this shows as a may-qualify result. Seniors 65+ and the medically homebound may apply early each season.
