Who Is Eligible?

Eligibility and benefits for the Fuel Assistance and Weatherization Programs are determined by gross household income (total income, including rent, tips, dividends, and all wages or salary, before deductions), number of household members, and vulnerability to heating costs. Eligibility for both Fuel Assistance and Weatherization Programs usually can be determined during one appointment. Homeowners and renters, including renters whose heat is included in rent, are eligible to apply.

NH's Fuel Assistance and Weatherization Programs prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, marital or familial status, sexual orientation, and mental or physical disability.
