Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program (CEAP) - Texas LIHEAP

Administered by Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) · tdhca.texas.gov

Texas's implementation of the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Helps eligible households pay heating and cooling bills, manage energy-related crises (shutoff notices, no power during weather emergencies), and reduce energy burden. Benefit amounts vary by household size, income, and energy costs - typical assistance ranges from $400 to $1,600 per year per household. Also provides emergency utility assistance during disconnection or weather emergencies. Households with members who are elderly, disabled, or have young children are prioritized. Administered through 39 local Community Action Agencies covering all 254 counties.

Priority given to households with elderly (60+), disabled, or young children (under 6) members, or those at risk of disconnection. Find your local provider at TexasUtilityHelp.com or call 2-1-1.
