On Tuesday, August 1, 2023, Operation Fuel began administering their energy assistance program for clients who need financial assistance with meeting their home energy needs (electricity, gas, and deliverable fuels). This program is for households with income guidelines up to 75% of state median income. The maximum grant amount will be up to $500 per household, one time per year.
Applications for energy assistance are now open through November 10th, 2023!
Before you apply for Operation Fuel assistance, you need to gather proof of the last four weeks of income for all household members, the name of your fuel vendor (if you are a deliverable fuel customer), or your utility bill and payment history (if you are an electric, gas, and water customer).
