It can pay for repairs, updates to homes, and energy conserving updates.
Another federal government funded resource is the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) as well as the Winter Crisis Program (WCP). The HEAP program will offer low income customers a credit on their heating or monthly utility bill. It is used for paying more of the recurring type bills.
