Additional HEAP Funding Is Available
New York State has made available additional Home Energy Assistance Program beginning February 12. Households in danger of running out of heating fuel or having their utility service shut off will be able to apply for a second emergency benefit. According to Governor Cuomo’s office there has already been a 40 percent increase in requests for emergency heating assistance compared to last year in many parts of the state that have experienced persistently cold temperatures this winter. Applications for HEAP are accepted at local departments of social services in person or by telephone.
