If you are a resident of Louisiana struggling to keep up with rising utility costs, you have likely heard about the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). This federally funded initiative provides critical financial support to help families manage their electricity and gas bills, especially during the sweltering heat of a Louisiana summer. Many applicants are currently focused on a key mid-summer date: July 15, 2026.
Despite the July 15 processing deadline for Louisiana’s statewide online LIHEAP portal, energy assistance has not ended. Local Community Action Agencies can continue accepting applications through September 30, 2026… or until available funding runs out.
