HEAP’s eligibility criteria prioritize households with members at the greatest risk of facing cold-related injury or illness including those with members who are 60 or older, those with young children, and/or those with household members who are disabled.
MaineHousing says the demand for HEAP and the number of eligible homes being reached by the program has increased by 20 percent over each of the two previous heating seasons. Last winter of 2023-24 was the first time HEAP moved to a waiting list process near the end of the heating season.
