Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program Eligibility Requirement Has A Change

Monday, November 15th, 2021 -- 1:12 PM

The Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program is a program designed to assist households with their yearly heat and/or electric costs.

According to the Clark County Department of Social Services, eligibility is now based on the household’s previous month of income. Self-Employment Income that is still being affected by COVID-19 will also be based on previous month of income, rather than the former requirement of using the most recent tax records. No walk-in appointments will be accepted for the 2021-2022 heating season. There are three ways that households can apply: phone, mail or online.

To request an application in the mail or to schedule a phone appointment, please contact Clark County Department of Social Services at 743-5233. For more information on the Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program or to complete an online application through Energy Services Inc. visit www.homeenergyplus.wi.gov.

Approximately 1,132 Clark County households were assisted last heating season.
