This office provides Emergency Home Energy Assistance for the Elderly Program (EHEAP), helps low-income households with at least one person aged 60 and over when households experience an energy emergency.
An energy emergency in the household can be caused by an overdue bill from a utility company, a shortage of fuel or wood, or the receipt of a shutdown message.
Payments are for heating or cooling homes and other emerging energy costs during the heating (October-March) and cooling (April-September) seasons.
Eligible households may receive one benefit per season, up to a maximum of $600 per season.
Beneficiaries of the program will receive vouchers to purchase blankets, portable heaters, and fans.
The program can also help cover the cost of repairing or reconnecting existing heating or cooling equipment.
