Give to the Warm Neighbors Fund!

(all donations are tax-deductible)

With snow falling in the Catskills, CAHP has launched their first homeowner support program: the Warm Neighbors Fund, which will provide small microgrants to local residents who are struggling to pay their heat bills this winter.

According to the Ulster County Executive’s office, there are roughly 14,700 Ulster County households enrolled in the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), a program that helps residents struggling to pay for heat in the cold months. Although HEAP benefits have now been restored, there remains an affordability crisis for many households. That, combined with federal budget cuts impacting so many income-based programs, CAHP believes it’s more important than ever for us to come together to support one another and strengthen our resilience as a community.

We have set a goal of raising at least $20,000 to help our struggling neighbors pay their heat bills.

Thanks to a generous community member, the first $5,000 in donations will be matched dollar for dollar, helping us reach our goal more quickly and support more of our neighbors!
