Who administers LIHEAP?
The Department of Health and Welfare, Division of Welfare, administers the Low Income Home Energy Assistance and Weatherization Programs in Idaho. The Division subcontracts with the Community Action Partnership Association of Idaho (CAPAI) to provide weatherization, energy assistance and community services block grant services to low income participants in Idaho. CAPAI in turn contracts with six community action agencies for Energy Assistance, Weatherization and Community Services Block Grants (CSBG), the Canyon County Organization on Aging for weatherization and the Community Council of Idaho (formerly the Idaho Migrant Council) for CSBG services. The Nez Perce Tribe, Coeur dAlene Tribe and the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes also administer LIHEAP funds available to tribal members.
