Economics more than dogma is the driver around here for wood heat. In the country here, you're dependent on a truck coming to your farm periodically (they keep track of outdoor temp and your prior usage to time visits if you want, otherwise you call when you are low or out) and fill your fuel oil or LP tank. (electric heat is unusual unless you have a ground loop/heat exchanger system)
I don't think there is a local program if you can't afford fuel oil or LP, not paying will get you shut off, and only way to get it back is to pay. Or you can move. I've had relatives with wood heat, I even house sat for 2 weeks in a house with it. I actually like it. Since the fuel is free (less time and effort with a chainsaw) you can have it 85 Fahrenheit if you want. Letting the fire go out is a nuisance though. Love the smell, hardwood fire in the country, it can be a special thing.
Friend of mine has wood heat, even gets hot water from his system. He wants to be off the grid at some point, if not for his refrigerator he would be. (enough photovoltaic to run a TV isn't too pricey, enough for a fridge is)

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
