Economic Opportunity Authority for Savannah-Chatham County Area, Inc. (EOA) — the designated Community Action Agency
Who it's for
The Economic Opportunity Authority for Savannah-Chatham County Area (EOA) delivers the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for Chatham County. LIHEAP makes a payment toward a household's primary heating or cooling bill for income-eligible households (eligible households can receive up to two payments per year), 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. Apply through EOA at 912-238-2960; help is first-come, first-served until funds run out.
LIHEAP through the 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.
