State assistance is available to help low- and middle-income households in New York with energy costs during the winter. The state's Home Energy Assistance Program can provide up to $996 to eligible households, the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance said in a news release. Last winter, 6,742 benefits were awarded in Cayuga County.
“New Yorkers should not have to choose between heating their home or putting food on the table, and we’re offering critical financial assistance to protect vulnerable New York households as the weather gets colder,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said. “The Home Energy Assistance Program puts money back in the pockets of New Yorkers — helping households stay warm through the winter and providing much-needed financial relief.
I urge all eligible New Yorkers to apply today.” For more information, or to apply for assistance, visit ny.gov/heat .
