CEDA's LIHEAP programs offer heat and electricity assistance through the DVP and PIPP Programs. DVP (Direct Vendor Payment) issues a one-time benefit applied directly to your utility accounts. Please note, PIPP is not an available option for new customers, only for existing PIPP-enrolled customers. Cash payments are also available to eligible renters who do not have heating bills because their energy costs are included in the rent. Additional benefits for those enrolled in LIHEAP include access to home weatherization services, energy saving kits, and broken ("red-tagged") or otherwise malfunctioning furnace/boiler replacement assistance.On November 1, all income eligible households may apply.
