If you’re behind on paying your electric bill or in need of future assistance, the federal government’s Hawai‘i Home Energy Assistance Program (H-HEAP), formerly known as Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program or LIHEAP, may be able to help.

Throughout the month of June, H-HEAP — administered by the Department of Human Services through County Community Action Programs — provides heating and/or cooling assistance to Hawai‘i households in need of financial help through a one-time payment toward electric or gas bills. Households may only receive one type of H-HEAP payment per program year (Oct. 1 – Sept. 30) and both programs are available in June:

• Energy Credit (EC) assists households in need of financial help ONLY from June 2-30
• Energy Crisis Intervention (ECI) year-round assists households facing disconnection due to outstanding balances, with greater availability throughout June
