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. Applications for the 2016-2017 season are expected to be available in mid-November.
Use ACCESS NYC to pre-screen for HEAP and other programs and learn how to apply.
