John,

Applications for the Home Energy Assistance Program are now open! Learn more and apply for assistance here.

Heating costs can get expensive. As the weather gets colder, we’re making sure New Yorkers can afford to heat their homes without breaking the bank. 

Eligible New Yorkers can get up to $1,000 to cover heating bills, $4,000 to repair a boiler, and $8,000 for a boiler replacement.

The Home Energy Assistance Program makes a real difference in the lives of New Yorkers. Last year alone, it saved families across New York over $397 million. We want to make the same impact this year.

Ever Upward, 

Gov. Kathy Hochul
