Propane company won’t fill my tank until I pay $900 past due. House at 48°F already. Is propane covered under any NY emergency heating program?

Emergency HEAP explicitly lists propane; my uncle in the Adirondacks got 150 gallons delivered next morning after approval. Submit the red-tag notice or gauge photo showing under 20%, plus propane invoice. They prioritize rural areas. Application takes 15 minutes if you scan docs ahead. Official page with propane vendor list: https://www.utilityassistance.org/emergency-heap-ny/ – call the 800 number on the site; they’ll connect you to a participating supplier who bills the state.
