Energy Assistance
ACTION FOR EASTERN MONTANA LOW INCOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM:
Energy Assistance is available through the LIEAP Program. https://aemt.org/energy-programs
Program is designed to help low-income families and individuals with a portion of their heating bills during the heating season. It doesn't matter if you rent or own your home. If you receive SNAP benefits, you qualify, just fill out the application and send it in with a copy of your heating bill. If you have previously received assistance, you will be sent the application form directly from DPHHS in Helena. You must reapply EACH year, if needed.
Qualified applicants, who are members of Southeast Electric will receive additional assistance through the SECO Energy Assistance Program. ONE APPLICATION - TWO BENEFITS!
Applications are available at Southeast Electric Cooperative, the Carter County Senior Coordinator and propane providers.
Applications are accepted from October 1 to April 30.
ENERGY SHARE OF MONTANA:
Energy Share of Montana is a private nonprofit organization that helps Montanans who are facing home energy emergencies due to unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances. Usually you are asked to apply for LIEAP before Energy Share. Energy Share is normally not available more than once every ten years or up to a recommended maximum of $700.
If you are facing loss of heat or lights in your home please call Action for Eastern Montana in Glendive at 1-800-227-0703 or 406-377-3564.
