Changes to the Good Neighbour Energy Fund will allow Nova Scotians apply more often for help paying their heating bills during the colder months.
The fund is administered by the Salvation Army, but receives money from the province. It is meant to help low income families heat their homes in emergency situations.
In the past, Nova Scotians could only apply for help once every 36 months. That’s been changed to every 24 months.
Last winter, 1,757 households received the emergency funding.
Applications for assistance opened January 15 and the program runs until April 15th.
