Thoughts on survival very near to a white dwarf

I'm piecing together a short graphic story about the last few thousand "people" on a small rocky planet that has partially survived the destruction of it's solar system. I wanted to explore the science facts around this idea.

Could a planetoid in close proximity to the white dwarf receive some kind of energy, or even some kind of light? Enough for these remaining people to at least fight over - which is an aspect of the plot.
