LIHEAP Funding Alert: Applications Accepted, Payments Temporarily On Hold Due to the Federal Government Shutdown. THRHA is still accepting applications, but payments cannot be processed until federal funding is restored.

Notice to LIHEAP Applicants

October 14, 2025

Due to the ongoing Federal Government Shutdown, new funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is currently unavailable. Unlike previous shutdowns, LIHEAP federal program staff have not been designated as essential personnel, which means no new Tribal LIHEAP grants can be issued at this time.

The Tlingit Haida Regional Housing Authority (THRHA) will continue accepting LIHEAP applications, but we are unable to process payments or provide assistance until federal funding is restored.

We understand how critical this support is for our families and elders—especially as colder weather approaches—and we are monitoring the situation closely. As soon as the federal government reopens and funding becomes available, we will resume processing applications and issuing payments as quickly as possible.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this temporary disruption. Updates will be posted on our website and shared through our communication channels as soon as new information is available.

For questions or assistance, please contact:
