Title: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program Performance

Measures.

OMB No.: New Collection.

Description

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) block grant (42 U.S.C. 8621 et seq. ) was established under Title XXVI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, Public Law 97–35. The Office of Community Services (OCS) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) administers LIHEAP at the federal level.

The LIHEAP statute requires HHS to develop performance measures and report to Congress annually on program impacts on recipient and eligible households. The primary program goals, as articulated in the statute, are to ensure that benefits are targeted to those households where the greatest program impacts are expected, and to assure that timely resources are available to households experiencing home energy
crises.

OCS is seeking authorization to collect data from all state grantees and the District of Columbia that will establish performance indicators of the impact of LIHEAP services on its recipients. Specific data elements OCS is seeking to collect are detailed below.

Broken down by main heating fuel type, report for all households receiving any type of LIHEAP-funded energy bill
assistance and for all high energy burden households receiving any type of LIHEAP-funded energy bill assistance (‘‘high energy burden households’’ is defined as the top 25% of all bill assistance households sorted by energy burden for that state):

• Total number of unduplicated households receiving LIHEAP-funded energy bill assistance. Note that the total number of unduplicated households served with LIHEAP funds is a current reporting requirement for the LIHEAP Household Report—Long Form. This new requirement is in addition to that requirement and is a slight variation in that grantees will be asked to exclude households receiving only LIHEAP services that are not related to payment of energy bills (such as weatherization assistance or heating/cooling equipment repairs/replacements).

• Average household income.
