Phone lines are open as of September 14th! Call Downeast Community Partners between 8am – 12pm to start the HEAP (formerly called LiHEAP) application process. Applications can take up to a month to process so don’t delay.

Call:  207-610-5914

DCP requests that you provide the following items to process your application:

• Current proof of income for everyone in your household
• A current electric bill
• Date of birth and social security cards for everyone in your household
• Current photo ID for main applicant
• A copy of your current lease (if you rent)
• The name of your energy dealer as well as your account number if you have one
• See their website here for more details on what items you might need

If you are having trouble getting any of these items (like a photo id, or social security cards) contact DCP to make an appointment with one of their Resource Advocates.  It’s a great program where a resource advocate can either meet you at the DCP office or come right to your home to help you find ways get the items you need to meet your goals – like getting your ID so you can apply for fuel assistance.  The program is free and available to individuals of all ages.
