Funding is available to help pay a portion of winter heating bills for income-eligible households in Lawrence, Methuen, Andover, North Andover, Reading and North Reading.

Residents are encouraged to apply even if they work, live in subsidized housing, or if utilities are covered through rent.

Eligibility is based on household size and the gross annual income of every household member, 18 years of age or older.

GLCAC’s offices remain closed to the public due to the COVID19 pandemic, however staff is available to assist clients by phone and email.
