Discount Programs
Eligibility for Fuel Assistance can give you the Life-Line discount on your local phone bill.  You may also be eligible for discounts on your gas and electric bills.  The discounts range from 20--35% on the distribution charges.  Some utilities require that the name on the bill is the same as the Head of Household on your fuel assistance application.

Weatherization Services
can install attic and/or wall insulation and perform air sealing measures to prevent heat loss from your home.

The Heartwap Program
can repair or replace your primary heating system.  Your eligibility for Heartwap will be determined by your fuel assistance benefit.

Citizens Energy (Joe Kennedy Oil): 
If you're not eligible for Fuel Assistance and in financial hardship, or you've exhausted your benefits, we can arrange an oil delivery for you for less than retail price. Price and start date available soon.

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency)
can assist with one month's heating bill if you are in a no heat situation or threatened with utility shut-off.  FEMA often works in conjunction with other agencies and a client payment, if necessary.  Funds are usually available in mid-February.
