The Good Neighbor Energy Fund is available to any Rhode Islander who, because of temporary financial difficulty, cannot meet a month's energy expense and has not qualified for or received other energy assistance funds. The maximum Fund grant is $300, the total of which can be distributed to more than one utility. The Fund grant is given only one time per family per heating season and a recipient must exceed LIHEAP income guidelines.
