Struggling with Your Heating Bill? There's Help!
A cottage covered in winter snow
Unknown
Many people have been shocked when they got their heating bills this winter. If you're on a fixed income, there is help. The Massachusetts Home Energy Assistance Program provides help to people with low, moderate, and fixed incomes to pay their utility bills. The program targets households with lower incomes, particularly those that have a high home energy burden (percentage of income that goes to heating and cooling bills) and/or have members who are elderly, disabled, and/or a young child.
You can apply online, in-person at the HEAP agency in your area, or by mail. Use the HEAP portal to find your agency and start your application.
On November 19, AARP Massachusetts held a tele-town hall and went over the program. You can listen to the event here:
