Who it's for
CEAP (Texas LIHEAP) delivery for the Trans-Pecos region — including Brewster County — is coordinated by TDHCA through a subrecipient agency that may rotate across program years (the Trans-Pecos has had TDHCA RFAs specifically scoping CEAP/LIHWAP for Brewster, Culberson, Hudspeth, Jeff Davis, and Presidio). To identify the CURRENT subrecipient serving Brewster County, call TDHCA at 800-525-0657 OR call the Rio Grande AAA (915-533-0998) for a current referral. Project BRAVO (the El Paso CAA) may also serve Brewster as an alternate subrecipient in some program years. Eligibility is set at 150% FPL ($23,475 single 2026), and senior-headed households receive application priority. Cooling-crisis assistance is especially relevant in this extreme summer climate.
