HEAP EMERGENCY WINTER CRISIS PROGRAM

 

The following are the benefits and eligibility guidelines for the Emergency HEAP Program that starts November 1, 2011.  This is a one time heating assistance initiative that helps low-income Ohioans with their heating bills.  To qualify, your circumstances must be considered an emergency. 

Households must have a 10 day supply or less of bulk fuel OR have a ten day shut off notice from a metered utility company.  Households are eligible to receive E-HEAP funds to restore or continue their utility services.

COME PREPARED!!!!  Applicants will be required to have proof of income for the past 13 weeks or 12 months.

If a customer has a shut off and wants to get back on PIPP Plus, they must be current with everything.  If a customer is behind on PIPP, they must pay an additional $50.  This cannot be paid out of E-HEAP.

Assistance is by appointment! Please call to make your appointment.

Customers can be served as walk-ins 7:30 and 10:00 each day, Monday through Friday.  The first 25 signed in individuals will be worked in among the scheduled appointments as time permits.
