February 1st is National Energy Assistance Day!

The East Tennessee Human Resource Agency helps families across six counties with their household energy bills through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) which is funded through the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA).

Today, we serve clients in counties including Anderson, Campbell, Claiborne, Scott, Morgan, and Union. In 2022, the LIHEAP program served 4994 households, including 13,465 individuals in these homes. Households who receive assistance often include disabled individuals, elderly family members, families with small children, and those who recently lost their jobs or faced other qualified circumstances. Benefit amounts range between $300-$1,000 one-time per year.

This program runs from October 1 through September 20th of each year and applications are taken year round. For more information, or to request an application, please contact the main office at 865-691-2551 or directly through our county offices:
