Division of Aging and Adult Services ALERT SFY-22-B Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for SFY 2022 The Division of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) estimates it will allocate $24,224,413 in LIHEAP funding to contracted provider agencies for State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2022. The final SFY 2022 LIHEAP appropriation has not been determined. Consequently, level funding estimates have been used to determine SFY 2022 initial contract allocations. The initial allocation is distributed based on the following factors: number of individuals at or below 125 percent of the Federal Poverty Level in the agency service area, and urban or rural status. The sources used for the poverty and rural factors were the 2015-2019 American Community Survey Five-Year Estimates and the 2010 United States Census, respectively. Per federal law, ten percent of federal LIHEAP funds are used to administer the program. Seven percent of LIHEAP funds allocated to providers may be used for administration. The State Administrative budget is split 7:3, providers:State, respectively. The following initial contract allocations are being made to designated LIHEAP providers.
