Tribal LIHEAP Outreach Activities | The LIHEAP Clearinghouse

Link to: State and Territory LIHEAP Outreach Activities

[Last updated: 01/09/2026]

Outreach is an important aspect of administering LIHEAP. Effective outreach means the households with the most need, or those the grant recipient has prioritized such as elderly or disabled, are made aware of the program as well as of other energy-related programs for which they may be eligible. Effective outreach can also streamline the application process.

In their annual model plans, LIHEAP grant recipients are asked to check which of the following activities are conducted in order to assure that eligible households are made aware of all available LIHEAP assistance. The information below is from tribal model plans.
