Montana Energy Assistance Programs Can Help You Today

Winter months can be so unpredictable, especially in Montana. One year we can have 9 months of cold frigid winter and the next year we can have more 50 degree days than we have 20 degree days.

With the unexpected temperatures comes unexpected heating bills. One month you may only be paying $50-$60 dollars and the next month your bill may double. It's times like this that make it incredibly hard to budget for your expenses.

When times are difficult and finances are not the same every month, some may find themselves in a bind. Do you buy groceries or do you pay your electric. A decision that doesn't have a favorable outcome? You need to have both. This is where The HRDC comes into action.

The HRCD released the following statement for you to use in a time of need:

Heating costs can cause a household’s energy bill to increase significantly during the winter. HRDC administers the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program which provides heat bill supplements and Energy Share of Montana which provides year-round emergency assistance to prevent utility disconnection and assists with hot water heater or furnace repairs.
