Thursday, December 21, marks the official first day of winter and the

while keeping your holidays bright. Learn more about weatherization
assistance below.

energy bills. This program helps low-income households with heating and
cooling energy costs, bill payment assistance, energy crisis assistance,
weatherization, and energy-related home repairs. Individuals and families
