Description

The Energy Assistance Program helps pay heat and electricity costs. Payments for energy bills are sent directly to the household's energy company or fuel provider for propane, fuel oil, or wood. Financial assistance varies depending on household income and fuel costs. The Energy Assistance Program provides additional grants for eligible households who need help with: - Getting reconnected to heat and power after disconnections - Paying for emergency fuel deliveries of propane, heating oil, or biofuel - Preventing disconnection - Grants can vary based on the household and are not designed to pay all of the household's heating-related utility costs. Grants are paid directly to the utility company on behalf of the household. Energy-related repair funds may be able to assist a household with no heat situations after hours due to a non-functioning furnace. Funds can only be used for homeowners who have applied and have been determined eligible for Energy Assistance. The deadline to apply for Energy Assistance is May 31. Applications for the heating season will be accepted starting generally around the first of October.
