Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program (EHEAP)
Due to a statewide transition of the Emergency Home Energy Assistance for the Elderly Program (EHEAP), Pinellas Opportunity Council is no longer offering this program. If you are a senior age 60 or older and need help paying your electric bill, please contact the resources below:
Elder Helpline: 800-963-5337 OR 727-217-8111
Florida LIHEAP Online Portal: Seniors may apply for Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) crisis assistance online at https://floridaliheap.com. The portal is mobile-friendly and allows applicants to complete and submit an application electronically.
Local LIHEAP Community Action Agency: Seniors may also contact their local Community Action Agency (CAA), which serves as a LIHEAP subrecipient in their county. CAAs can assist with in-person applications and provide guidance on available crisis benefits. To find the local CAA serving a particular county, seniors or their caseworkers may contact FloridaCommerce or visit www.FloridaJobs.org/LIHEAPHelp for a directory of local providers.
