Central Valley Opportunity Center
Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP)

HEAP is a federally funded assistance program administered in Stanislaus County by the Central Valley Opportunity Center (CVOC) that provides one payment per year to utility companies for low-income customers. Customers may apply for the assistance through CVOC who will complete the application, determine customer eligibility and the amount of payment to be made to MID. Please call CVOC 209-338-0004 for more information.

Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP)

ECIP provides one payment per year to utility companies for low-income customers that have received a 48-hour shut off notice, or if a senior citizen or disabled person, have received a 15-day shut off notice. This program also provides assistance to customers in obtaining propane and firewood for heating and repair or replacement of heating sources. Eligibility for ECIP is the same as it is for HEAP, except a 48-hour or 15-day shut off notice must have been received prior to application. Please call CVOC at 209-537-9217 for information.

San Joaquin County residents can contact the Human Services Agency of San Joaquin County for HEAP or ECIP related services at 209-468-1500.
