Formula Grant 2601OKLIEA

The Oklahoma Department of Human Services received a $35.99 million formula grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Services under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP, CFDA 93.568) effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. This grant provides financial assistance to eligible low-income households in Oklahoma to reduce energy costs, address energy crises, support weatherization improvements, and facilitate minor energy-related home repairs. The program supports vulnerable populations by reducing the financial burden of home energy expenses while maintaining safe and healthy living conditions.

As the state administrator, the Oklahoma Department of Human Services distributes LIHEAP funds through a network of sub-recipients including community organizations, food banks, tribal entities, and local non-profit partners to deliver energy assistance services across the state. The award follows the standard LIHEAP formula grant process, which requires annual submission of a Model Plan detailing the proposed use and distribution of funds, public participation and comment periods, and compliance with federal audit requirements under the Single Audit Act and applicable federal cost principles.
