Program details

How it works

Essex County DSS says it administers HEAP in the county and that HEAP may also assist with heating equipment repair and replacement for eligible households.

What the money covers

The official page describes the benefit as help with heating equipment repair/replacement for a malfunctioning heating system. It does not list a dollar cap on the county page.

Timing and deadlines

The DSS page says HEAP generally starts on or about the first Monday in November and runs until funding is exhausted.

Why it is included

This is not a structural wildfire-hardening program, but it is a county-specific emergency home-safety repair benefit that helps homeowners keep heat systems working.
