If you make under a certain monthly income limit in New York City, you may qualify for a fan or air conditioner assistance up to $800 through the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP). Visit the HEAP Cooling Assistance website to see if you qualify. Then, call your local HEAP contact from this list and ask them to mail you an application. Applications for Cooling Assistance in 2020 are due by August 30, and this seasonal program reopens during the spring of each year.
