HEATING ASSISTANCE

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program

Energy Assistance helps low-income South Dakotans pay for home heating costs. Keep in mind, energy assistance may not pay for all of your home heating costs.

Eligibility:

  • you must complete an application
  • your total gross income may not exceed maximum income guidelines
  • you must be responsible for paying home heating costs

Energy assistance funds are distributed on a first-come basis. Eligibility and assistance amounts are based on the number of people in your home, the income of everyone in your home, the type and cost of heating, and where you live. If you are eligible, the payment is made to your energy supplier.
