The Fuel Assistance Program helps low-income households pay for heating between November 1 and April 30. Renters and homeowners in both Cambridge and Somerville are eligible to apply if they meet federal income guidelines.

If your heat has been shut off or you are facing immediate utility shutoff, fuel assistance can be provided within 24 hours to eligible applicants.

You can apply online. For help, call the Fuel Assistance office at 617-665-6234.
