You may be able to get this support if:
- You live in Nova Scotia and:
- Your household income is less than $29,000 for one-person households
- Your household income is less than $47,703 for 2 to 4 person households, and
- Your household income is less than $67,937 for households of 5 or more individuals.
- Your household is experiencing an emergency heating situation.
Note that in the past, you could only get this support once every 24 months. Because of COVID-19 that restriction has been removed. This means that if you got money in 2020 from the HEAT fund you can apply again in 2021.
