The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is an office established to help people pay their heating or cooling bills. They also help people get help during an energy crisis such as a power outage.

A separate program can provide you with money to make home improvements that save on energy usage. This program is called the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP).

The US government has a program called Lifeline, which helps low-income individuals and families receive discounted phone or internet service. The program helps pay for internet service, landlines and cell phones.
