Ae Scottish Government scheme is being administered by national advice service Advice Direct Scotland, and "referral partners" can still register to help their clients across Lanarkshire hit by the cost-of-living crisis.
Registrations remain open and applications for financial support can be made until the end of March.
Applications to the Home Heating Support Fund can be made on behalf of individuals by through www.homeheatingadvice.scot.
Charities, housing associations, and community organisations which provide energy or debt advice, are encouraged to register online so that they can seek funding for people they support.
Targeted funding from the Home Heating Support Fund will reflect each individual’s circumstances, with extra support available for households where one person is over 75, living with a disability or illness, and/or living in a remote community.
Payments start at £100, rising to £1000 to clear outstanding debt, with the money paid directly to suppliers on behalf of the household.
Eligibility is based on households which are ‘self-rationing’ their energy, meaning those who are deliberately limiting their energy use so that they can afford to spend money on other goods or services.
Payments can be for electricity, oil, gas, LPG, coal or other forms of heating, and are made directly to the supplier.
Individuals cannot apply directly to the fund.
Andrew Bartlett, chief executive of Advice Direct Scotland, told Lanarkshire Live: “Since launching the scheme, more than 400 referral partners have registered and we’re receiving hundreds of applications on behalf of their clients who are struggling with energy bills.
“This demonstrates the scale of the cost-of-living crisis.
“But we know there are more people out there who need support, so we encourage any charities, housing associations, or community organisations which provide energy or debt advice to register with us.
“This fund will prove absolutely crucial in ensuring that households who have been hit the hardest can continue to heat their homes and feed their families.”
