🛑🔌 Are you behind on your electric bill or worried about future utility costs? Financial help is available right now—but you must act before June 30th! 🛑🔌

The federal Hawaiʻi Home Energy Assistance Program (H-HEAP), formerly known as LIHEAP, is providing a one-time payment to help eligible households cover their electric or gas bills.

Two critical programs are open this June (note: households can only receive one type of H-HEAP payment per program year):

💸 Energy Credit (EC): Assists households in need of financial help ONLY from June 1–30.
⚠️ Energy Crisis Intervention (ECI): Assists households facing immediate utility disconnection due to past-due balances (with increased availability throughout June).
