Yarmouth Home Heating Assistance Program
The Yarmouth Home Heating Assistance Program helps eligible Yarmouth homeowners and renters with heat assistance. Eligibility and distribution is administered through Yarmouth General Assistance (GA). To make an appointment, call or email GA: 207-846-2406 x326, ga@yarmouth.me.us. If it is after business hours (Mon-Fri 8:30am-4:30pm), call Yarmouth’s non-emergency number: 207-846-3333. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
This program is supported through YCAN and Yarmouth resident and business donations, and is meant for Yarmouth’s low to moderate income households, especially those not qualifying for other fuel assistance programs but still in need (e.g., households receiving unemployment benefits or relying on minimum wage incomes).
