Applications for the federally funded energy credit assistance program, which helps low- income residents who are not in crisis but require help to pay their heating and cooling bills, will be accepted beginning June 1.
Maui Economic Opportunity administers the once-a-year program in Maui County. Applications will be accepted through 4:30 p.m. June 30.
The program provides a credit toward utility accounts of income-eligible households. Credit amounts are based on income and number of people in the household, as well as the number of applicants, with the amount determined by the state.
Approved applications are sent to the state, which then distributes a credit line to applicants through Hawaiian Electric or Hawaii Gas. Some clients can make their credit last for longer than six months.
