Heat and Utility Bill Assistance
If you have received an electric, gas or heating disconnect notice, you can apply for emergency financial assistance. You may also qualify for assistance if you have a low supply of heating fuel or a broken boiler or furnace.
The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) helps low-income homeowners and renters pay for utility and heating bills. HEAP is a seasonal program. You must re-apply each year to qualify for HEAP. There is currently no deadline for applying for the 2014-2015 HEAP season.
