MARQUETTE, MI— The Superior Watershed Partnership has funding to help Upper Peninsula residents with their heat and electric costs.
Limited-time aid comes through the Michigan Energy Assistance Program. Applicants must be at or below 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Level and demonstrate their need for assistance, which could include a past due bill or shut-off notice.
After the household has been approved for energy assistance through the Department of Health and Human Services, the SWP MEAP can help with co-pays and subsequent heating and electric bills. It also offers affordable payment plans and energy security services, including energy education, financial counseling, and home weatherization.
