An online medication-assisted treatment provider for opioid dependence.
Brand-new initiative from NY State of Health—the Essential Plan Cooling Program (EPCP)—created to help protect vulnerable New Yorkers from the rising threat of extreme heat.
The EPCP provides free air conditioning units and professional installation for Essential Plan (EP) members with persistent asthma. With limited funding available, it’s crucial that this life-saving benefit reaches the communities who need it most.
Who Qualifies?
EP members who:
· Experience frequent asthma symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, or coughing attacks,
· Or require daily asthma medication to manage symptoms.
What’s Included?
· One (1) unit per household every five (5) years, delivered directly to the enrollee’s home and professionally installed
· If installation is not feasible, a fan will be provided instead
Applications are first-come, first-served and will be accepted through August 31, 2025 or until funding is exhausted.
Please note:
· Cash assistance is not available through this program.
· For utility bill assistance, consumers should contact their utility provider or the HEAP program: otda.ny.gov/programs/heap
What Happens After Applying?
· Consumers will receive an approval or denial email within 2–3 weeks.
· If approved, they’ll contact a vendor for:
1. A pre-installation assessment
2. An installation appointment
· The cooling unit becomes the consumer’s property and must be maintained by them.
Get Started:
· Visit the EPCP webpage: Essential Plan Cooling Program | NY State of Health
· Apply now: EPCP Online Application
· Download and share the Fact Sheet with eligible consumers.
Please encourage applicants to:
· Use their own email address when applying (not the Assistor’s)
