MaineHousing’s Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) is open and accepting applications.
Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) applications are open for all income-eligible households. Senior citizens and those receiving Social Security Disability or SSI benefits are encouraged to apply as early as possible, but applications will be open to everyone through spring of 2026, or until the funding is exhausted.
The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) helps qualified homeowners and renters pay for heating costs. Benefits include assistance with fuel costs and emergency fuel delivery. You can also qualify for energy-related repairs and utility payments if you are eligible for HEAP.
Households are encouraged to apply for HEAP as early as possible.
The application process involves an application and, in some cases, an interview to help determine eligibility and the level of benefit. The amount of benefit eligible households receive varies depending on household size, income, and other household expenses.
