The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps families in Jackson, Harrison, and George Counties pay their home energy bills, handle energy crises, and access weatherization services. All assistance is free to eligible residents.
LIHEAP provides multiple types of assistance to help families manage their home energy costs and stay safe in their homes.
Direct payment assistance for your home electricity, natural gas, or propane bills. We work with your utility provider to apply the benefit to your account.
Emergency assistance when your power is about to be disconnected or has already been shut off. We help restore service and prevent future disruptions.
Referrals to weatherization programs that improve your home's energy efficiency through insulation, sealing, and upgrades that reduce monthly energy costs.
Energy-related minor home repairs that help keep your home safe and reduce energy waste. Covers issues directly connected to your home's heating or cooling systems.
Whether you are applying for the first time or returning for additional assistance, the process is straightforward.
If you have never applied for energy assistance through CASOMS, start by submitting an application through the Mississippi Common Web Portal (Access MS).
If you have received energy assistance from CASOMS before, you can schedule your next appointment online through the appointment scheduler.
Have these documents ready when you visit your county office. This helps us process your application as quickly as possible.
Energy assistance appointments are available at all three CASOMS county offices. Call the LIHEAP line for your county to get started.
If you are struggling with energy bills, help is available right now. Apply online as a new applicant or schedule your appointment if you have worked with us before.
