Emergency Home Energy Assistance Programs (E-HEAP)
E-HEAP is a winter heating program that operates from November to March. The program will pay a onetime payment up to $250.00 towards a bulk delivery of oil, propane, coal, or wood for households that have a 10 day or less supply. Households that heat with natural gas or electric and have a disconnect notice the maximum benefit is $175.00. You must meet Federal Income Guidelines and provide required documentation to qualify.
Required documentation:
*Proof of income for the last 13 weeks for all household income
*Electric Bill/Disconnect Notice
*Heating Bill
*Social Security Numbers and Birthdates for all household members
*If your heat is included in your rent you must provide a letter that states you control your own thermostat
E-HEAP also requires you to enroll in the Percentage of Income Payment Plan that will allow you to pay a small percentage of your monthly income to the electric company to avoid future disconnection.
E-HEAP Summer Cooling Program
The Summer Cooling Program allows those who are in threat of having their electric disconnected to apply for a onetime payment of up to $175.00 to avoid disconnection. The Summer Cooling Program also provides air conditioners to those who have sever and certifiable breathing problem such as asthma or COPD.
Summer Cooling operates with the same guidelines as the E-HEAP Winter Program. In addition to the documentation requested by E-HEAP you will also need to provide a prescription from your doctor that states your need for an air conditioner.
