To be eligible for LIHWAP assistance, applicants must be water/sewer bill holders who are
responsible for paying their water and sewer bills directly to the water/sewer provider. Also,
applicants’ total gross household income must be at or below 60% of the state median Income
($6,439 a month for a family of four). The LIHWAP frequently asked questions webpage, available
at https://njdca-housing.dynamics365portals.us/lihwapfaq has additional information about
maximum income limits and other items.
Participants in the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) are automatically
eligible for LIHWAP assistance so long as they are water/sewer bill holders.
