2026 - 2027 I PY27 NH Fuel Assistance Program (FAP) Procedures Manual 52 • Payment towards a security deposit for an income-eligible household that is homeless in order to secure housing (in which heat is included in the rent), thereby gaining access to ongoing FAP benefits • Payment towards a security deposit required by a utility company prior to connection of service towards which additional FAP benefits may be paid (Regulated utility companies in NH will waive the security deposit once a household is deemed eligible for a low- income assistance program. Requests should be made to municipal utilities to see if the municipal utility would do the same.)
