Fuel Assistance
Low-income families and individuals can get help with the cost of heating their homes — even if they rent. Fuel Assistance is available to income-eligible applicants.
We also offer free weatherization services and appliance replacement that can help income-eligible clients save on their utility bills.
Our Fuel Assistance program helps qualified applicants pay for a portion of their home heating bill. The program runs from November 1 to April 30.
Program Eligibility
Homeowners and renters, including households whose cost of heat is included in the rent, may apply. Eligibility is based on household size and the gross annual income of every household member, 18 years of age or older. Household income cannot exceed 60% of the state median income.
Registration/Sign-Up Information
First-time applicants must make an appointment. Applications are mailed to current fuel-assistance clients in August or September. Applications are not available online.
Applicants will need to provide documentation of their income, household expenses, utility expenses, as well as photo identification and social security cards for all household members.
