Benefits & Utility Assistance

The Benefits program is a one-stop shop for assistance with LIHEAP and other utility assistance programs.  We are committed to making sure Philadelphians are saving money on their utility bills by providing low-income households information on energy conservation techniques to lower utility bills, utility assistance and weatherization programs available to low and moderate-income families, and developing a budget to manage household expenses. 

Program Hours: Mondays & Thursdays 9:00am-1:00pm
