The Massachusetts home energy assistance program, also known as LIHEAP, is a free resource provided by the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities. It offers eligible households the opportunity to receive financial assistance to help cover a portion of their winter heating bills. Whether you are a homeowner or renter, you can apply in person at the agency in your area or through the online application, with eligibility based on household size and gross annual income.
This program provides assistance through a fixed benefit amount for the cost of the primary source of heat, including oil, electricity, natural gas, propane, kerosene, wood, and coal. If eligible, discounts are automatically applied to electric, gas, and telephone bills, and payments for actual usage or fuel delivery are made directly to the heating vendor. Eligibility criteria and benefit levels may vary, so it is recommended to contact the local fuel assistance agency for more detailed information.
