Low-income households can receive credits
Members of low-income households in the Highlands can apply for federal assistance to pay heating bills over the winter. Central Hudson also provides credits of at least $350.
The grants are available through March 16, and emergency grants are available from Jan. 2 to March 16. Funds also are available to repair or replace heating equipment.
