How to apply for Trans-Pecos CEAP (TDHCA-Coordinated) — Hudspeth County

Who it's for

CEAP (Texas LIHEAP) delivery for the Trans-Pecos region — including Hudspeth 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 Hudspeth 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 Hudspeth as an alternate subrecipient in some program years. Eligibility is set at 150% FPL ($23,940 single 2026), and senior-headed households receive application priority. Cooling-crisis assistance is especially relevant in this extreme summer climate.

What you'll need

• Proof of all household income
• Current energy bill and any past-due notices
• Photo identification
• Proof of Hudspeth County residency
• Documentation of household members and ages
• Social Security numbers
• For crisis assistance: shutoff notice
