This week, I was proud to pass an emergency HEAP bill which will prevent utility shutoffs for many struggling New Yorkers with past due utility bills.
In the recently passed 2022-23 state budget, I supported the creation of $250 million fund to help New Yorkers pay their utility bills. However, with rising costs, there’s still more to do to prevent our neighbors from having their power shut off-especially as we enter the warm summer months. By expanding access to this critical energy assistance program, we can address COVID-related economic challenges and help New Yorkers stay safe and in their homes.
For more information on how HEAP can provide assistance on your utility bills or how it can help address your heating and cooling equipment needs, contact my office or visit
