THE HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (HEAT)
Now accepting new applications for the program starting November 1, 2012.
The Home Energy Assistance Program (H.E.A.T.) is open to ALL eligible low income families and individuals. This program provides
a winter utility assistance to low-income households, targeting those who are truly vulnerable - the lowest-income households
with the highest hearing costs, the disabled, elderly, and families with preschool-age children. HEAT is not a welfare program.
A family does not need to be receiving welfare in order to qualify for this program. It is a Federal Funding Energy Assistance
Program.
If qualified, HEAT accepts applications ONE TIME during the period of November 1, 2012 through end of April 2013 or when funds
run out.
To find out if you are eligible and instructions on how to apply, go to this website: Housing and Community Development Division.
Click “applications forms” and you will see a chart showing HEAT, HELP, and UTAP. Click “HEAT applications/mailing instructions.”
Follow the instructions on this instruction page and submit application.
