Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Annual Report on Households Assisted

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) block grant (42 U.S.C. 8621) was established under Title XXVI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, P. L. 97-35. The Office of Community Services (OCS) within the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF) administers LIHEAP at the federal level. The LIHEAP Household Report is an annual data collection effort conducted by OCS to collect information from LIHEAP grantees to meet statutory requirements and program objectives. The LIHEAP statute requires the collection of data on the number of households assisted, their income levels, and vulnerability group, by type of LIHEAP assistance, for inclusion in the Secretary’s annual LIHEAP Report to Congress. The data are collected through the LIHEAP Household Report, which consists of the following: (1) a Long Format for state grant recipients, the District of Columbia, and select territory grant recipients, and (2) a Short Format for tribal grant recipients and select territory grant recipients. The LIHEAP Annual Household Report Long and Short Formats have been revised to reduce respondent burden, improve clarity of reporting instruments, and ensure the collection remains focused on current statutory and programmatic requirements. Revisions include eliminating the lines inquiring about CARES and ARPA funds as they are no longer applicable and removing the sections asking about the applicant's sex, race and ethnicity as this information is not statutorily required.
