Community Services/Home Energy Assistance Program

We're Here When You Need Us

Contact Community Services at 673-9173

The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) is a federally funded energy assistance program administered by the California Services and Development.

HEAP provides a once-a-year credit towards an individual's energy cost and purchased wood or propane determined by a clients income.

Any individual who falls within the income guidelines is eligible for this credit. This credit takes anywhere from one to three months to show up on an energy statement and in no way can be used to assist clients who are in a crisis situation.

Energy Crisis Intervention Program Fastrack
The Energy Crisis Intervention Program Fastrack (ECIP) provides the same assistance as HEAP. It helps clients in a crisis situation, including shut-off notices.

How to Apply:
Clients must be income eligible. Contact the Community Action Partnership to schedule an appointment. Applications are done by appointment only. You will need verification of household income for the previous month, a current utility or propane/wood statement, and social security card.
