The Home Energy Assistance Top-up (HEAT) Fund

For more than 20 years, this program has offered vital support to Nova Scotians facing challenges with home heating costs during the winter season. Thanks to the combined efforts of the Government of Nova Scotia and Nova Scotia Power—along with generous contributions from employees and customers—the HEAT Fund provides assistance to more families each year. The Salvation Army administers the HEAT Fund in Nova Scotia.
