will soon close applications for the 2024-2025 fiscal year of the
Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP

once a fiscal year.

Friday, September 19, 2025. Applications can be turned in at the main
office located at 6098 Debra Rd, Chattanooga, TN 37411, or online at

As the Office of Family Empowerment staff prepares for the new 2025-2026
LIHEAP year, the office will be closed to clients from Monday, September
22, 2025, through Tuesday, September 30, 2025, for the annual in-service
training. If residents need assistance during this time, we encourage them
to contact United Way 2-1-1.
The new 2025-2026 LIHEAP applications will be available starting Monday,
