Lentol says HEAP provides help to homeowners in winter
Winter isn’t here yet, but it pays to think ahead, Assemblymember Joseph Lentol said.
Lentol (D-North Brooklyn) is urging homeowners who have trouble each year paying their home heating bills in the winter to get help from the government via the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), a federally funded program that provides relief to residents who struggle to pay their bills.
“Whether you own or rent your home, you can apply for direct benefits to help cover the costs of electricity, propane, natural gas, wood, oil, kerosene, coal or other heating fuels. Repair, replacement and emergency benefits are also available if your home heating equipment is in danger of failing,” Lentol said in a statement.
