The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded a $3,775,737 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Block Grant (CFDA 93.568) to the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities. The grant, effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2025, provides funding for the Heating Emergency Assistance Retrofit Task Weatherization Assistance Program (HEARTWAP), which delivers heating system repair and replacement services to low-income households across the state.
The Executive Office has sub-awarded portions of this LIHEAP grant to three non-profit organizations - Self Help Inc., Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD), and Community Action Programs Inter-City Inc. - to implement HEARTWAP services at the local level. These sub-awards support a range of energy assistance activities, including utility bill payment aid, home weatherization, and heating system maintenance to help low-income Massachusetts residents manage home energy costs and improve energy efficiency.
