Utility Help
AHA assists with the application process to help individuals and families who are seeking temporary relief in paying their gas, electric, oil and propane bills. AHA is an authorized NJ SHARES Intake site, assisting those with moderate household incomes by providing a one-time hardship assistance payment per calendar year. AHA also administers a Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) which assists low income households, particularly those with the lowest incomes that pay a high portion of household income for home energy, primarily in meeting their one-time or monthly home energy needs, depending on household eligibility. AHA is the selected administrator of the Board of Public Utility (BPU) Temporary Relief for Utility Expense (TRUE), a new program designed to provide a one-time relief for gas and electric bills to households who are experiencing a temporary financial crisis.
If you are interested in the True program, please visit us at www.ahanjtrue.org.
