Important Notice Regarding LIHEAP: Due to the federal government shutdown, the State of Tennessee has not been awarded 2026 LIHEAP. Therefore, the State cannot award funding to local LIHEAP agencies. However, local LIHEAP agencies may begin accepting LIHEAP applications electronically on November 1, 2025 at 8:00 AM. Households are encouraged to complete their application online. Local LIHEAP agencies will place eligible Applicants on a waiting list until Federal funds are released and made available to Tennessee. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we await the release of Federal funding.
