The Low-income Home Energy Assistance Program (LiHEAP), offered through Mid-Sioux Opportunity, Inc., may be able to help you pay your winter heating bill. This program is funded through the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services and has been established to help qualified low-income Iowa homeowners and renters pay for a portion of their primary heating costs.
