THE LIHEAP AND LIHWAP WILL BE EXTENDED

These two programs help Low-Income families in Texas cover the cost of their gas, electricity, and water bill. Even though there are some Texans that felt like these two programs were unnecessary and were taken advantage of, the LIHWAP  and the LIHEAP have truly been heaven-sent for the misfortunate and were scheduled to close the program on September 30.

Although there were some Texans who heard the news and begin to panic due to the fact that they just weren’t sure how they were going to be able to take care of the utility bills. Both programs have decided to extend until December 30. To be qualified for this program, you do not need to be a homeowner, you can also be a renter as well.
