The new State Home Energy Assistance Program (SHEAP) helps people in Washington pay their utility bills and move to low-to-no carbon heating and cooling options. SHEAP is available for individuals and families who are making up to 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
Eligibility
This grant will support eligible community members with:
- Financial assistance with energy bills
- Assessing their household’s energy needs
- Replacing unsafe heating/cooling systems in their homes
- Purchasing a heat pump or other tech that is more energy-efficient
SHEAP is available to utility customers who make up to 80% of the area median income (AMI). In 2024, 80% of the AMI was approximately:
- $110,950 for a family of four in King County
- $78,300 for a family of four in Spokane County
- $94,400 for a family of four in Clark County
If you are unsure if you qualify, use the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) AMI calculator to calculate your household’s AMI.
How to apply for SHEAP
To apply for energy assistance, you must schedule an appointment with a partner organization that offers services in your area.
