This office provides the Elderly Home Energy Assistance Program (EHEAP), which helps low-income households with at least one person age 60 or older when households are experiencing a home energy emergency.
A domestic power emergency can result from a defaulting utility bill, lack of fuel or firewood, or from receiving a shutdown notice.
Payments are for heating or cooling homes and other emerging energy costs during the heating (October-March) and cooling (April-September) seasons.
Eligible families can receive a per-season benefit of up to $600 per season.
Program beneficiaries may receive vouchers for the purchase of blankets, portable heaters, and fans.
The program can also help pay for repairs to existing heating or cooling equipment or reconnection costs.
Eligibility:
Documented heating or cooling emergency, at least one person aged 60 or older in the household, and an annual gross household income equal to or less than 150 percent of the federal poverty line.
Hours of Operation:
Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
