Abstract: One core purpose of LIHEAP is to ensure that low-income households have access to necessary home energy services. By preventing the loss of service to at risk clients, the program can eliminate the costs of service restoration (e.g., reconnection charges) and can minimize client health and safety risks. By restoring services to clients who do not currently have access to energy service, LIHEAP is eliminating a significant risk to the health and safety of clients. The prevention and restoration of home energy services measures are designed to be complimentary. As LIHEAP grantees are successful in increasing the number of households where loss of home energy is prevented, we hope to see a decrease in the number of households needing to have energy services restored. Based on the data collected from grantees, OCS will calculate the performance measures and report the results through the annual budget development process and in the annual LIHEAP Report to Congress. Once the data are published in the LIHEAP Report to Congress, grantees will be able to compare their own results to the results for other states, as well as to regional and national summaries through the LIHEAP Performance Measurement website.
