Delaware Energy Assistance Program

The Delaware Energy Assistance Program (DEAP) assists low-income households that need help in meeting the cost of home energy used for heating and cooling their homes. Federal income eligibility standards apply. Both homeowners and renters may receive assistance. Households with elderly and/or handicapped persons may be eligible to submit applications by mail.

Benefits are paid to vendors for all heating and cooling sources, including electricity, gas, oil, kerosene, wood, and coal. Although the program is not designed to pay for all heating costs, it does provide an important financial supplement to preserve the health of the family. Heating assistance applications are processed from October 1 to March 31. Assistance for home cooling is provided during the summer months. The Crisis Supplemental component of the program provides assistance to eligible households in an emergency situation.
