Our light assistance program is designed to provide financial support to low-income households struggling to pay their electricity bills, ensuring that everyone has access to essential utilities for a comfortable and healthy living environment.
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a federally-funded program that helps low-income households pay for cooling or heating their homes. Miami-Dade County uses LIHEAP to help qualified residents pay their energy bill and offer additional help in cases of energy crisis.
LIHEAP is providing crisis energy assistance to qualified Miami-Dade County residents who are experiencing a hardship in paying their home energy bill due to the pandemic. Eligible households can receive up to $2,000 within a 12-month period.
If your electricity has been disconnected or face disconnection you must visit a Community Resource Center. Appointments are encouraged but walk-ins are welcomed.
Eligibility and Requirements
Note: If necessary, additional documents may be requested upon review of your application in order to determine eligibility or explain current income if insufficient to meet household expenses.
Regular Home Energy Assistance
You will receive a notice of approval or denial in the mail and if approved, a payment credit will be sent to the utility provider within 45 days.
The Florida Power & Light (FPL) Care to Share Program was implemented to provide emergency assistance funds to Miami-Dade County customers experiencing crisis situations. The households are low income and in imminent danger of having their services disconnected and are unable to make payment due to hardship or lack of funds. Applicants are screened for processing at the Community Resource Centers. Eligible applicants can receive a one-time assistance within a 12 month period, up to $750. Assistance is based on funding availability. Available at: All Community Resource Centers.
This program provides energy assistance to low-income households, with at least one person aged 60 and older, during a home energy emergency. A home energy emergency may result from a delinquent utility bill or the receipt of a disconnection notice. If your local Community Resource Center does not provide this type of service, please inquire about LIHEAP or the Care to Share Program.
