Heating and cooling assistance programs are available for financially struggling households to help pay energy bills to heat their homes in the winter, and afford cooling costs in the summer. For New York residents, the program is called the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP). In New Jersey, the program is called the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
Energy Source Assistance
For New York residents, the Winter HEAP program can assist in heating your home for the winter if you utilize electricity, natural gas, oil, coal, propane, wood or wood pellets, kerosene, or corn to heat your home.
The Summer HEAP program allows each household to buy and install either one fan, or one air conditioner. HEAP Benefits will cover up to $800 for the cooling source.
For New Jersey residents, the LIHEAP helps households that heat with natural gas or electricity by having benefits directly forwarded to their utility company. Households directly responsible to a fuel supplier for heating costs will receive a two-party check in the name of the applicant, as well as their fuel supplier. Households that have heating costs included in their rental payment will receive a one-party check in the name of the eligible applicant.
LIHEAP can also help with weatherization, which can make a home stay cooler in the summer. Weatherization might involve things like sealing up leaks to keep cool air inside and adding insulation to keep hot air out.
Who is Eligible?

- Your monthly household income is at or below the HEAP income guidelines.
- You and the members of your household are U.S. citizens, U.S. non-citizen nationals or qualified aliens.
