New Heating Oil Support Program Helps Households Combat Rising Costs
Councils across the country are developing policies to help households on heating oil access a new government fund launched on April 1, providing much-needed financial assistance.
As the cost of living continues to rise, a new government fund launched on April 1 aims to provide critical financial support for households that rely on heating oil. Councils across the country are now working to develop policies and guidelines to help those in need access this vital assistance.
Heating oil is a common fuel source, particularly in rural and off-grid areas where natural gas and electricity infrastructure may be limited. However, the recent spike in global energy prices has caused the cost of heating oil to skyrocket, putting a significant strain on household budgets. This new fund is a crucial intervention to help alleviate the burden for those who can least afford it.
