I am interested in having energy efciency improvements made to my home. This may help me reduce my overall utility consump-
tion and help to reduce my utility bills while creating a healthier home environment. Please refer me to the energy efciency programs
provided by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). The energy efciency improvements such as,
furnace clean and tune, added insulation, and energy efcient light bulbs are offered at no additional cost to income eligible Marylanders.
Landlord approval will be required for renters participating in this program. I understand I do not need to participate in DHCD’s energy
efciency programs to receive OHEP benets.
10. ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR YOUR HOME – DHCD Energy Efciency Programs
I swear or afrm under penalty of perjury that all the information I gave to the Ofce of Home Energy Programs (OHEP) in this Energy
Assistance Application is true, correct, and complete to the best of my ability, belief, and knowledge. I am the representative of the
individual household members identied in this application, and I submit this application on behalf of myself and the other individual
household members. I authorize OHEP and/or the Ofce of Inspector General (OIG) to investigate and conrm the accuracy and
completeness of all household income and other information provided with this application, including but not limited to the use of
governmental and consumer reporting agency data regarding employment income.
I consent to allow my gas, electric, oil company, or any other energy provider to provide relevant account information to OHEP and for
OHEP to communicate with those providers regarding this application. I allow OHEP to release and exchange relevant information with
other agencies and my gas, electric, oil company, or other energy provider in order to make appropriate referrals to services that may
assist me to lower my energy bill or help me to better afford my energy costs or help me with the completion of my application. I consent
for my information to be entered into other secure databases for tracking of services, statistical information, and program evaluation.
I understand that by checking ‘YES’ to question #10, I understand that OHEP will refer all necessary information from my application
to DHCD’s energy efciency programs. I also give my permission for DHCD to access my utility consumption data through my utility
provider(s) in order to determine the energy efciency improvements for which I may be eligible. I understand that if I decide to participate
in any of the energy efciency programs at a later date, this application is my authorization for the programs to access my utility
consumption data.
An appeal can be led to change the decision on this application or if help is not given in a reasonable time. The appeal must be led
within 30 days of the decision. The local agency will tell me how to le. Free legal advice may be available through the Legal Aid Bureau
by calling toll-free 1-800-999-8904.
Maryland has a fraud law that will be vigorously enforced for intentional misrepresentations of information contained on this application.
Punishment can occur for not telling the truth when applying for assistance to pay home energy costs. If a household member
intentionally misrepresents information, that member may be disqualied from the program for a set amount of time.
YES. I want to receive energy efciency improvements. I understand that my application information will be referred to DHCD AND I give
my permission for DHCD to access my utility consumption data through my utility provider(s) in order to determine the energy efciency
improvements for which I may be eligible.
