Description of Program and Relief

Home Energy Assistance Target (HEAT) Program

The HEAT Program is a pre-existing state program that provides energy assistance and year-round energy crisis assistance for eligible low-income households. The Department of Workforce Services has advised households affected by COVID-19 to reach out to their local HEAT offices if they are in danger of energy shutoff or need assistance paying energy bills. Households may need to meet existing eligibility standards.

Starting May 11, 2020, households applying for HEAT benefits – as well as households that already receive HEAT benefits – are eligible to receive an additional HEAT benefit of $550. To apply, please contact your local HEAT agency.
