Energy Assistance Program
Energy assistance is a program that helps income-eligible people who have difficulty paying the cost of heating their home by providing vendor payments for home heating. Through an intake and assessment process, Energy Assistance staff determine how its services can best help lower energy costs. The primary goal of this program is to keep households warm and safe during the winter months. Income guidelines for the program change yearly and are based on the state/national poverty level.

All applicants must apply in person. An outreach visit is available for the homebound elderly and/or physically disabled. Along with offices in Waterbury, Meriden and Torrington, intake sites are located in a number of towns.
When applying for energy assistance, the following information is required:
- All applicants must provide proof of income for all household members for the four weeks immediately prior to application date.
- If the primary heating source is a utility, a copy of the utility bill must be provided.
- Renters must provide copies of their rent receipts or lease.
- Homeowners must provide a copy of their mortgage.
- Payments will be made directly to the heating vendor of the household's behalf.
- Documentation of liquid assets is required.
