LIHEAP-2026 Federal Grant Award Summary

The Tlingit Haida Regional Housing Authority (THRHA) received a $757,750 Formula Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Community Services under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP, CFDA 93.568), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. THRHA will utilize these funds to provide financial assistance to low-income households throughout Southeast Alaska to help manage home energy costs, address energy crises, support weatherization initiatives, and facilitate minor energy-related home repairs. As a tribally owned entity headquartered in Juneau, THRHA serves Native American and low-income populations in rural and underserved Alaskan communities.

LIHEAP represents a federal initiative designed to reduce the financial burden of energy expenses for vulnerable populations while promoting safe and healthy living conditions. The two-year award cycle is typical for LIHEAP Formula Grants, which are distributed to states, territories, and federally recognized tribes following congressional appropriation and submission of a LIHEAP Model Plan. THRHA administers this award directly as prime recipient without subrecipient arrangements, demonstrating operational capacity to deliver federally funded energy assistance programs consistent with its broader portfolio of housing and community development initiatives serving low-income Alaskan residents.
