The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) has ended for this year and is not accepting applications through the Tribe.

A federal government funding lapse and staff reductions at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services resulted in slower processing and distribution of LIHEAP funds this year, leaving programs unable to continue applications in the usual timeframe.

Because of these disruptions, Tribal members and families who continue to need help with home energy costs are encouraged to seek assistance through the Massachusetts Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), which is administered by the state and may still be available to help with energy bills and related needs.

If you have questions or need help navigating available options, please contact the appropriate state agency listed on the HEAP website.
