Home Heating & Energy Assistance

Overview

We do not provide heating assistance directly, but we will connect you with the programs that do.

While Aroostook Agency on Aging does not provide home heating or energy assistance services directly, we are committed to ensuring that older adults and their families have access to the support they need.

Program Details

These programs are provided by a partner organization, not the Aroostook Agency on Aging.

If you are struggling with heating costs or energy emergencies, we strongly encourage you to reach out to Avec Community Action. They are a trusted local organization that administers several vital energy assistance programs for income-eligible households.

Below is an overview of the programs Avec offers. To apply or learn more, please contact Avec Community Action directly at 207-764-3721 or by emailing info@avecmaine.org.
