Operation Fuel
Operation Fuel is a private, non-profit statewide program designed to provide one-time emergency energy assistance to those households who are in crisis and whose income is below 150% of the Federal Poverty Guideline and up to 100% of the State Median Income.
A. Basic benefits for homeowners and renters who pay separately for heat:
A vulnerable household may receive more basic benefits than a non-vulnerable household. A vulnerable household may be eligible for up to $255 in basic winter heating benefits this winter, compared to up to $220 for a non-vulnerable household. Minimum benefit level is $100.
Up to $255 in winter heating assistance for 'vulnerable' households (Households which have one or more members who are elderly (age 60 or older), or who have a disability.)
Up to $220 in winter heating assistance for non-vulnerable households (Households with NO member who is elderly, age 60 or older), or who has a disability.)
A range of basic benefit levels are built into Connecticut's winter heating assistance program. Once a household applies and is determined eligible for the program, the level of benefits is determined. The exact level of basic benefits is determined by your household's income, the number of members, and whether there is a 'vulnerable' household member. Households with lower income levels are eligible for higher benefits.
B. Basic benefits for renters whose heat is included in the rent:
This level applies to households which do not make direct vendor payments for winter heating; in other words, renters whose heat is included in their rent, and who pay more than 30% of their gross income toward rent.
To see if you meet the program requirements call Community Action Agency of New Haven at 203-387-7700.
