The Home Energy Assistance Program in Milwaukee, WI is a government-funded initiative that provides financial assistance to eligible county residents to help cover a portion of their energy bills. The program offers a one-time payment during the benefit season, which runs from October 1, 2023, to May 15, 2024, and the amount of the benefit varies based on household income, size, and heating bills. In addition to energy assistance, the program also offers other benefits to reduce utility costs and provides year-round assistance for bill reduction, home repairs, and furnace upgrades.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all application sites are temporarily closed, but residents can apply for assistance via phone, mail, or online. The program has specific income requirements based on family size, and unemployment and stimulus payments are not counted as income. The Milwaukee County Energy Assistance Program is operated by Community Advocates and is committed to helping residents stay warm, reduce their energy bills, and make their homes more energy-efficient.
