The St. Louis Fed blog outlines two long-standing federal programs, LIHEAP and the Weatherization Assistance Program, which are linked to fewer utility disconnections and cost savings for participating households. Utility companies in Eighth District states also offer lifeline discounts, a fixed-percentage discount for eligible low-income households. Despite federal funding of up to $6 billion in 2023, LIHEAP assists only about 15% to 18% of eligible households annually.
