New Jersey Heating Assistance for Federal Fiscal Year 2027 Opened October 1 and Runs Through June 30, 2027: First Come, First Served, With Heating Benefits of $
TRENTON, New Jersey — The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) announced that applications for the Federal Fiscal Year 2027 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) opened on October 1, 2026. The application period runs through June 30, 2027, and applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis while funding is available. The programme helps eligible households pay for home heating costs and medically necessary cooling costs.
According to DCA, a household must be responsible for home heating or cooling costs, either directly or as part of its rent, and have a gross household income at or below 60 percent of the State Median Income: the monthly limit is $4,273 for one person ($51,273 a year) and $8,217 for a household of four ($98,602 a year). The heating benefit is determined by income, household size, fuel type and heating region and ranges from $118 to $1,278 this season; medically necessary cooling assistance is $300. DCA is led by Commissioner Jacquelyn A. Suárez.
Residents can apply online at energyassistance.nj.gov or contact an authorized local agency in their county; the information line is 1-800-510-3102. The same application also serves for the Universal Service Fund (USF), which helps lower natural gas and electric bills. DCA encourages residents who may be eligible not to wait to apply, as assistance is subject to available funding.
