With colder temperatures here and heating costs on the rise, there is assistance available for Hoosiers struggling to pay their bills.
The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority’s Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program provides a one-time, annual benefit to help eligible Hoosiers with home energy payments. Applications are now open and will be accepted through April 20, 2026.
Please note the program does not cover all home energy expenses, so it is important that you continue to pay your utility bills. Hoosiers at risk of having their utilities disconnected should contact their provider as soon as possible to discuss payments. You can find a map of utility providers here, or simply call 211 for local resources.
Several utility providers also offer payment assistance resources. Visit your local provider’s website for assistance options. To learn more about Indiana’s electric providers, click here.
