An emergency may occur in which an eligible household needs to purchase or rent additional temporary or supplemental heating or cooling devices, or needs temporary shelter outside their home. Up to $100.00 (for exceptions, see 415-50-15) per season may be authorized for this purpose. Consumer goods such as blankets or warm clothing should not be authorized as normally these are available through other community resources.

If funds are available, the State Administrator may choose to replace or repair water heaters that: 1. are not operating, 2. and/or cannot be repaired.

This service may be provided through Community Action Agencies or County Social Service offices, as circumstances dictate.

Households share of water heater replacement will be no more than $500.
