LANSING, Mich. – With fall around the corner, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is partnering with the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan to spread the word about the Home Heating Credit. The credit helps eligible residents manage heating costs during the colder months. Qualified Michigan renters and homeowners have until September 30th to claim the credit.
Last year, the average qualifying household received $180 in assistance, which is most often applied directly to residents’ utility bills. Some energy providers automatically provide claimants a residential income assistance credit worth up to $20 monthly.
To qualify, Michigan residents must be either a renter with a contracted lease or a homeowner and meet income requirements.
