Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP)

Clients at or below 175% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines receive a benefit in the form of a credit directly to the client’s main energy heating account beginning in the month of January. The benefit amount depends on funding received from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, household poverty level, household main heating source, household location, if someone in the home is disabled, if a person in the home is 60 years of age or older, or if the household is enrolled in the Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus (PIPP).
