LIHEAP APPLICATIONS OPEN NOVEMBER 3 DESPITE FEDERAL FUNDING DELAY
The Bradley Cleveland Community Services Agency has announced that, due to the federal government shutdown, the State of Tennessee has not yet been awarded 2026 LIHEAP funding and therefore cannot distribute funds to local LIHEAP agencies.
However, the agency states that local LIHEAP agencies will begin accepting applications electronically on November 3, 2025, at 8:00 AM, encouraging households to apply online. Appointments are now being scheduled, and eligible applicants will be placed on a waiting list until federal funds are released to Tennessee.
The agency thanks residents for their patience and provides (423) 479-4111 ext. 100 for further information.
