Heating & utility bill help — State Heating Assistance and tribal help
The main heating program for North Slope households is the State Heating Assistance Program — call 1-800-470-3058 (the Division of Public Assistance general line is 800-478-7778). For a shut-off notice or a past-due heat or electric bill, ask your own village's tribal office first: some village tribes run emergency or utility assistance for their enrolled members, and programs change with grant cycles. ICAS General Assistance can cover utilities for eligible low-income Alaska Native / American Indian residents of the North Slope (907-852-4227), and ASNA BIA General Assistance serves Atqasuk, Kaktovik, Nuiqsut and Wainwright (907-852-2762).
