The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) is a federally funded program that helps low-income households pay for the cost of heating their homes. In New York State, HEAP is administered by the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA).
HEAP benefits are available to households that meet certain income and eligibility requirements. To apply for HEAP, you must complete an application and submit it to your local OTDA office. The application is available online or by mail. You can also apply for HEAP over the phone by calling the HEAP hotline at 1-800-342-3009.
