Local agencies offer energy assistance and weatherization programs

Sylvania residents seeking to manage home energy costs and improve efficiency have access to two key programs: the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Weatherization Assistance Program. Both initiatives aim to support eligible low-income families.

LIHEAP provides a one-time payment to help qualifying families cover their home heating energy expenses. This program is administered by the Division of Family & Children Services (DFCS) and is designed to assist families in maintaining safe and healthy living conditions by helping with energy costs.

The Weatherization Assistance Program focuses on reducing long-term energy consumption and lowering utility bills. Through this program, homes are made more energy efficient, which can lead to significant savings on both heating and cooling costs throughout the year.

Residents interested in applying for either LIHEAP or the Weatherization Assistance Program are encouraged to contact their local Community Action Agency. Information on how to find the nearest agency is available through local service channels.
