How to apply for Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP via UCHRA) — Overton County
Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency (UCHRA) — Community Services (LIHEAP), for the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA)
Who it's for
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps eligible households in Overton County pay heating and cooling bills. Tennessee's LIHEAP is funded through the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) and delivered locally by the Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency (UCHRA). Qualifying households in the Upper Cumberland region receive a one-time utility payment (about $350 to $650), with priority for older adults, people with disabilities, and households in a heating or cooling crisis. Apply through the UCHRA Community Services office or call 2-1-1 for a referral.
LIHEAP is income-based (generally at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty Level under Tennessee's THDA rules) and depends on available funds; the local agency makes the final decision, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
What you'll need
- Proof of household income for the past 30 days
- Most recent heating and electric bills
- Proof of residency and Social Security numbers for the household
