Michigan’s State Emergency Relief program can help with energy-related expenses, including some home repairs, for households facing an immediate need. The official page says eligible assistance can include heating fuel, electricity, and verified energy-related home repair.
Program details
How it works
State Emergency Relief is a crisis intervention program that provides assistance for energy-related expenses. The official page lists heating fuel, electricity, and home repairs as covered categories.
What the money covers
The page states assistance can be used for:
- Heating fuel
- Electricity
- Home repairs when the need is verified as energy-related
Amounts and matching
The reviewed page does not state a fixed dollar amount for home repairs. It does state that heating fuel has an annual maximum of $600 to $900 depending on fuel type, and that the maximum payment may change based on available funding.
How to apply
The page links applicants to MI Bridges for online application.
Timing and deadlines
The page says DHHS issues only one payment for heat and one payment for non-heat electricity between October 1 and September 30 each year, up to the fiscal year cap.
Notes
The program is not a home-hardening program in the wildfire-specific sense, but it is a statewide homeowner assistance program that can cover certain home repairs.
