Winter Crisis Program helps residents stay warm
The HEAP Winter Crisis Program may help households that have disconnect notices on their gas or electric bills or those that have less than a 25 percent supply of fuel oil, propane, coal or wood.
The Ohio Home Energy Assistance Program has been helping low-income households reduce heating expenses during the winter months for more than 35 years. Paper application forms are available at area senior centers, post offices, libraries, social-service agencies (DJFS, Salvation Army and more) and food banks.
The HEAP Winter Crisis Program may help households that have disconnect notices on their gas or electric bills or those that have less than a 25 percent supply of fuel oil, propane, coal or wood.
Income-eligibility guidelines begin with $21,857 for a one-person household and increase by $7,735 for each additional household member. The program runs from Nov. 4 until March 31.
