Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP)

The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) is a federally funded program that issues heating benefits to supplement an eligible household’s annual energy costs.  HEAP is currently offering its 2023-2024 Regular Benefit for eligible households. Applicants can mail their completed application & copies of the supporting documents directly to the HEAP office.

Additionally, a HEAP representative will be at 201 Bay Street Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm. No appointment is necessary.
