Outreach Services Emergency Heap The Emergency HEAP Program is designed to assist low-income families who are facing an emergency situation and have a 10-day supply of fuel or less, or a heating utility shut-off notice. This program is operated in conjunction with the State HEAP Program. The maximum amount of assistance per household is $175 for Utility Assistance and $325 for Bulk Fuel. An application and face-to-face interview is required to apply for Emergency HEAP. Verification requirements include income for all members of the household for the past twelve months and a copy of fuel bill. Summer Cooling The Summer Cooling program provides assistance to eligible families to offset high electricity costs associated with the summer cooling season. Room air conditioners are available for eligible applicants. To qualify for a room air conditioner the applicants must provide a medical statement that certifies there is a member of the household with a respiratory disease or breathing problem. Applicants that do not qualify for air conditioners may receive assistance with their electric bills. A disconnect notice is required unless there is a household member 60 years of age or older, in which case the current bill can be paid. The maximum assistance is $175 per household. All applicants must have household income at or below 150% of the federal poverty guidelines according to household size. |
