Through September 30th, households that qualify can apply for the Emergency Home Energy Assistance for the Elderly Program (EHEAP).
Eligible households can receive up to $5,000 of assistance with multiple energy bills while funds are available – a $1,500 increase from earlier this year.
Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Brevard County residents over the age of 60 who reside in a household where at least one member is receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Social Security (SSI), and/or Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits are also “categorically eligible” for EHEAP.
