Energy Share is a private non-profit working in partnership with the ten HRDC’s across the state. HRDC-7 distributes Energy Share applications and assist in the reviewing process. The Energy Share Committee meets every Friday morning to determine eligibly of each case.

Unlike LIHEAP, Energy Share is a year-round, situation-based emergency assistance program for eligible low-income households facing an energy crisis (furnace repair/replacement, low on propane utility disconnect, etc.). Energy Share is available only when all other resources have been exhausted. Assistance is typically not more than once every five years.

During the heating season, applicants must also apply for LIHEAP before or simultaneously with Energy Share.

How to apply

Energy Share applications can be downloaded at https://hrdc7.org/how-we-help/energy-assistance and printed out. If you do not have the ability to print an application or need assistance completing the application, please call the Resource Center at (406) 259-5212.
