HEAP
Home Energy Assistance Program
HEAP (Home Energy Assistance Program) is a federally funded program to assist low-income households in meeting their heating needs. HEAP is administered by local Social Services and supervised by the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA). HEAP is a seasonal program with regular and emergency benefits and has funds for equipment replacement and repair. Applicants must meet HEAP's eligibility requirements.
