Energy Crisis Program
This assistance program is available for the homebound, eligible seniors, or households with life-threatening issues. It was created to assist those who have received a disconnection notice or a service disconnection and that need help addressing the issue.
Households in Georgia are considered to be facing an energy crisis if they have the lack or the threat of loss of heating services in their homes.
Eligible households will receive assistance that will help prevent their service from being interrupted and to restore service to the home.
Regular Home Energy Assistance
This financial assistance program will be mainly in the form of locally issued checks paid directly to home energy suppliers on behalf of eligible households.
The amount of aid paid to both non-subsidized renters and homeowners who receive a bill for their fuel cost will depend on the household income, household size, characteristics of the household, and the payment schedule for home heating energy.
Weatherization
The Weatherization Program will provide low-cost home energy conservation improvements to eligible Georgia households. Improvements may include, but are not limited to, caulking, installing ceiling insulation, weather-stripping, etc.
