Payments will be made directly to the household’s utility company. The primary goal of LIHWAP is to retain continuity of water services to low-income households in Florida with an emphasis on prevention of disconnection and restoration of water services to households whose water services were previously disconnected.
Eligibility for participation in LIHWAP is established according to the federal income guidelines and must be at or below 100% of poverty level for household size of 1 to 8, and 150% of poverty level for household size of 9 to 20.
Maximum annual income:
| Household of 1 – $26,036 | Household of 5 – $58,082 | ||
| Household of 2 – $34,048 | Household of 6 – $66,093 | ||
| Household of 3 – $42,059 | Household of 7 – $67,595 | ||
| Household of 4 – $50,071 | Household of 8 – $69,097 |
Please note: LIHWAP is available for eligible low-income households through September 30, 2023, or until funds are exhausted.
