LIHEAP aids individuals and families, especially seniors and children, heat their homes in the winter, cool their homes in the summer, and assist with insulation to ensure that their homes are energy efficient. Grantees with completed FY 2016 LIHEAP plans will receive award letters with their individual allotments. Each grantee that submitted a complete LIHEAP plan for FY 2016 received the funding available under the Continuing Resolution. Georgia has received $48,814,457 in LIHEAP funds for FY 2016.
