Iowa LIHEAP

Financial Assistance · Iowa · Free

Energy assistance for Iowa households. Apply via your state LIHEAP office. 1-866-674-6327. A first stop for families discovering the senior never applied for benefits they've qualified for, sometimes for years. Phone-based intake is often faster than online for seniors without computer access; most state agencies offer both. Most seniors leave $5,000-10,000 a year in benefits on the table because no one tells them what they qualify for. Open at no cost to Iowa seniors and the families supporting them.
