Energy Assistance Program

Serving residents of Crow Wing County

Energy Assistance, funded by the State of Minnesota, provides an important resource to help income-eligible households manage their utility bills.

Tri-County Community Action is our partner in providing weatherization assistance.

Energy Assistance can help manage household utilities by:

• Authorizing a primary grant for the heating season
• Helping you manage an unexpected utility crisis
• Setting up a Reasonable Payment Plan and helping you negotiate with your utility vendor
• Providing financial assistance for furnace repair or replacement
• Providing referrals to Weatherization services
• Providing referrals to other community-based organizations

Eligibility:

Homeowners and renters are eligible, and all fuel types qualify, even self-cut wood. Applications are accepted October through May of each year. Eligibility is determined via a written application. Households that have been on the program automatically receive a new application in the fall.

Income Guidelines

For households with income slightly over the income guidelines, grants may be available.
