Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Performance Data Form

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. Two regular appropriations acts appropriated $3.7 billion of regular LIHEAP funds for FFY 2020. They retained the 10 percent carryover limit required by the LIHEAP statute. The CARES Act (Public Law 116-136) also appropriated $900 million of LIHEAP funds for FFY 2020. However, it overrode the LIHEAP statute section 2607(b)(2)(B) [42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(2)(B)] by that stipulating funds must remain available until September 30, 2021. Consequently, OCS needs to require grantees to report regular LIHEAP funds and CARES Act LIHEAP funds separately. OCS will use the data from this separation to (1) validate the Carryover and Reallotment Reports of the states, which will also call for separate reporting; and (2) report on how grantees used each funding stream. ACF seeks to change the Grantee Survey (Module I) to allow grantees to report CARES Act funds separately from non-CARES Act funds on their reports.
