Pennsylvania’s Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is now open until April 16, Rep. Martin Causer (R-Turtlepoint) announced today. 

The LIHEAP program is administered by the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) and helps income-eligible households pay for heat during the winter months. 

The LIHEAP program was scheduled to close April 2, but the program has been extended another two weeks to end April 16. 

DPW has helped nearly 500,000 families through cash and crisis grants since the program opened last November for the current season.

• Cameron County -- 814-486-3757.
• McKean County -- 814-362-4671.
• Potter County -- 814-274-4900.
