Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP)
Many homeowners and renters have difficulty paying fuel costs during the winter months. This may be particularly true this year as a result of the uncertain economy. Increased costs of living, combined with cold temperatures may cause lower income households and the elderly to be at risk. Home Energy Assistance and Weatherization are critical programs available to assist eligible individuals so that they may live comfortably and safely during the winter months.
Emergency HEAP can often help people who are confronted with heat-related emergencies, such as a lack of fuel, a utility shut-off, or inoperable/unsafe heating equipment.
If you are eligible for HEAP, we encourage you to apply.
We have information on this page about income eligibility limits, where to apply, and how to download a printable application. For additional information, you contact us the Albany County HEAP Hotline at (518) 447-7323 or by email at mreedy@albanycounty.com
