Many Minnesotans spend over 25 percent of their income on utility bills. Do you need help with your heating, electric, or water bills? Community Action Partnership of Hennepin County (CAP-HC) may help.
The program is free and provides benefits of up to $1,400, plus additional support to respond to emergencies. Both renters and homeowners can qualify. Eligibility is based on income and household size. For example, a family of four could have earnings up to $62,822 annually and qualify to receive financial assistance with energy bills.
The Energy Assistance Program (EAP) can help you pay your utility bills. The 2023-2024 Energy Assistance Program (EAP) will begin on October 1, 2023. Households may apply early but will not receive any benefits until after October. 1.
