Occasionally, an applicant may be forced to temporarily live away from his permanent home due to illness or other circumstances beyond his control.

 

If the applicant intends to return to his home within a reasonable time period (up to three months), LIHEAP funds may be used to pay for the cost of maintaining a minimum of heat in the home during his absence.

 

Examples:

1. An elderly person in nursing home for a short stay.
2. Persons of any age that need to go away from home a short time because they cannot care for themselves.
3. Someone away for a reasonable time for medical treatment.
