--- Energy Assistance Components
• The Energy Crisis Assistance Program (ECAP) assists households with a verifiable energy crisis, including the loss of heating or cooling. Open enrollment for the program begins each year in mid-April. Energy crisis assistance for households with a life-threatening medical situation is accepted yearround.
• The non-emergency summer cooling program helps by making a one-time payment per fiscal year to the energy company providing the household’s main cooling source. Open enrollment usually begins each July.
• The non-emergency winter heating program assists with a one-time payment per fiscal year to the energy company providing the household’s main heating source. Open enrollment usually begins each year in December.
Energy Assistance eligibility requirements are based on income, household size and responsibility for payment of home energy. Households are not eligible for Energy Assistance if the utility bill is paid directly to the provider by someone who does not reside at the residence.
