Heat and Utility Bill Assistance

Print

If you have received an electric, gas, or heating disconnect notice, you can apply for emergency financial help. You may also qualify for help 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. The 2016-2017 HEAP season ended on March 17, 2017. Information about the next HEAP season will be available in November 2017.
