Through the
South Dakota Department of Social Services
there are two assistance programs available that provide financial aid to low-income South Dakota households.
The energy assistance program will help pay for your heating costs. Keep in mind, that funds from the energy assistance may not cover your entire monthly heating bill. If you qualify, the payment will be made directly to your energy supplier.
The weatherization assistance program is designed to help low-income South Dakota households make their homes more energy-efficient. With this program, funds are limited, so you may be placed on a waiting list. Priority is given to the elderly and handicapped individuals and to families with small children.
