LIEAP funds available

If you’re having difficulty this winter with keeping the heat on in your home the Wyoming Department of Family Services (DFS) may be able to help you.

DFS has an energy assistance program to help those with fixed incomes and low income to pay their heating bills during the winter months called the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program, or LIEAP.

Federally funded, the program gives priority to households that include elderly folks over the age of 60 and those with disabled and/or young children under the age of five.

There are income guidelines that determine if you qualify which are easily accessible through their website at lieapwyo.org. You may also apply online or at the DFS office at 403 Bighorn.

If you have any questions about qualifying for the LIEAP program you may call 864-2158.
