In close collaboration with Wisconsin Division of Energy, Housing and Community Resources (DEHCR) we are working together to bring the upcoming programs and benefits to so many low and fixed-income households struggling to pay for record increases in energy costs. We are anticipating an early start for those on fixed incomes during September. For all other non-elderly fixed-income households we are planning on accepting applications no later than October 1. Our staff will begin scheduling in-person applications or establish October dates for on-demand or online applications for Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP) assistance. Should there be any changes that provide for non-fixed income households prior to October 1 we will continue to reach out to those in need.
From now through September 30 the 2021-2022 income guidelines are required. For the upcoming WHEAP for 2023 the new gross income requirements per household will apply. The 2022-2023 gross income guidelines have increased so many who were slightly above the previous guidelines may now apply.
