Winter heating help in New York
In New York, the latest HHS table lists a planned fiscal year 2026 heating window. That table was last updated November 25, 2025. A winter 2026-27 opening date was not on the page. Crisis dates and shutoff notes on this page come from the same HHS clearinghouse, and a blank rule stays blank.
Simple answer
The last published heating window for New York is 11/03 - 04/07.
That figure is from the FY 2026 plan, updated November 25, 2025. A 2026-27 opening date was not in the table.
What do you need?
Pick one. We save that choice and the state. We do not ask for income, a health condition, a name, or an account number.
