HEAP

The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) may help you pay for electricity, propane, natural gas, wood, oil, kerosene, coal, or any other heating fuel.

HEAP is a federally funded program that issues heating benefits to supplement a household's annual energy cost. HEAP also offers an emergency benefit for households in a heat or heat related energy emergency. Additionally, HEAP may offer furnace repair and/or replacement benefits for households with inoperable heating equipment.

Are you interested in applying for HEAP? Applications are generally accepted only between November - March each year.
