Applications being accepted for the household water assistance program

INDIANA – Applications are being accepted for Indiana’s Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP).

These programs help low-income households pay their electricity, heating, water, and wastewater bills and avoid shutoffs.

Households that make 60% of the state median income (60 SMI) or less are encouraged to apply for EAP/LIHWAP before May 16, 2023. A detailed chart of income eligibility requirements as well as a list of local service providers and a link to the online application can be found on the IHCDA website.

If a household does not have internet access, they can call 2-1-1 and ask to be connected to the EAP local service provider in their area.
