FALL RIVER — Over the past 28 years, Citizens for Citizens has serviced 301,471 area clients through its Fuel Assistance Program—spending approximately $175 million in the area to ensure families will be able to pay their home heating bills during the winter months.

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) — best known as fuel assistance, provides states with grants to help low income families pay their heating and in some states cooling bills.

It is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Children and Families. LIHEAP has been in existence for the past 28 years, providing financial assistance for home heating, energy crisis intervention and is the gateway to many other energy related programs, such as weatherization and the heating system repair program.

LIHEAP funds currently help over 5 million households nationwide and approximately, 130,000 households in the state of Massachusetts.
