National Grid has special fund to help with your heating bills
Help is available for low income homeowners having trouble keeping up with the high costs of heating their houses.
State Sen. Martin Golden (R-C-Bay Ridge-southern Brooklyn) is urging residents to sign up for the National Grid Neighborhood Heating Fund, a program that provides assistance to eligible homeowners during the cold winter months.
Golden said he is working in partnership with National Grid and with HeartShare Human Services of New York to get the funding to qualifying homeowners. HeartShare, a non-profit social services agency based in downtown Brooklyn, has been administering the program for National Grid since 1995. HeartShare covers Brooklyn, Staten Island and Queens.
