What’s the income eligibility?
- Your gross monthly income must not exceed 150 percent of the federal poverty level, so an individual with an annual income of up to $22,590 is eligible to apply and a family of four with an annual income of up to $46,800 can also apply.
In addition to the one-time cash grants, crisis grants are available to assist income-eligible households without heat or in danger of being without heat.
There are also other assistance programs you can apply for, including flexible payment options and budget plans.
