Building Bridges, One Conversation at a Time 🫶🏽

We’re so proud of the ongoing efforts to strengthen trust between our community and law enforcement. Here’s a snapshot from our latest monthly trust-building meeting at the Patrick L. Johnson Community Youth Center. Police Lt. Starr joined our youth group for an open and honest discussion about working together for a safer, more united Utica. These moments are crucial in creating mutual understanding and respect. Together, we’re making a difference!

HEAP, or the Home Energy Assistance Program, is a federally funded program that helps low-income households in Oneida County and other areas in New York State with their home heating costs. HEAP provides various types of assistance to ensure that residents can keep their homes warm during the winter months. Here are the main components of the HEAP program:
Types of HEAP Assistance
Regular HEAP Benefit:
Helps eligible households with the cost of heating their homes.
The benefit amount depends on the household's income, household size, the primary heating source, and the presence of a vulnerable household member (someone who is under age 6, age 60 or older, or permanently disabled).
Emergency HEAP Benefit:

Provides assistance to households in a heating or heat-related emergency, such as having less than a quarter tank of heating fuel or facing a utility shut-off notice.
Available if the household has already received a regular HEAP benefit and is experiencing a crisis.
Heating Equipment Repair or Replacement:

Assists with repairing or replacing a furnace, boiler, or other direct heating equipment necessary to keep the home's primary heating source working.
This benefit is available to homeowners with heating equipment that is inoperable or unsafe.
Clean and Tune Benefit:

Provides for the cleaning and inspection of primary heating equipment, such as furnaces, boilers, and other direct heating equipment, to ensure efficient operation.
Eligibility Requirements
Income: Household income must fall within certain guidelines, which are updated annually. The exact income limits depend on household size.
Residency: Applicants must be residents of New York State.
