Local Home Energy Program Office

For those Marylanders worried about paying their utility bills, the Department of Human Services wants you to know they’re here to help.

Program eligibility is income-based — Marylanders do not need a turn-off notice to qualify for assistance.

Residents should then contact their Local Home Energy Program Office, where dedicated specialists will guide them through the energy assistance application and answer questions.
