The Hawai`i Home Energy Assistance Program (H-HEAP) provides heating and/or cooling assistance to eligible Hawai`i households by assisting with a one-time payment towards their electric or gas bill.

Households may only receive one type of H-HEAP payment per program year which runs from October 1 – September 30:
