$12.7 million is being allocated from Connecticut’s Federal Cuts Response Fund to supplement home heating assistance for eligible households during the 2026–27 winter season. With heating costs on the rise, this funding will provide meaningful relief for low-income households struggling to make ends meet and help ensure that Connecticut residents can keep their homes warm during the cold winter months.
Who qualifies?
Households with annual gross incomes at or below 60% of the state median income may qualify. For a family of four, that means an annual income of $93,681 or less for the 2026–27 heating season. Some households receiving benefits such as SNAP, Temporary Family Assistance, or Supplemental Security Income may also qualify. The program prioritizes older adults, families with children under age six, and people with disabilities.
Applications are now open.
First day for program-paid fuel deliveries: November 2
Application deadline: May 31, 2027
