The Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program (E-HEAP) assists low-income households with their energy needs. E-HEAP’s two programs – the Winter Crisis Program and the Summer Crisis Program each have their own set of specific guidelines for assistance.

Winter Crisis Program
The Winter Crisis Program provides assistance to eligible households that are disconnected, threatened with disconnection of their primary or secondary heating source, or have less than a ten day supply of bulk fuel. Eligible clients may receive assistance once per heating season. The program will run from November 1, 2022 - March 31, 2023.

Summer Crisis Program
The Summer Crisis Program provides financial assistance to eligible recipients, age 60 or older, on their electric bill. Please contact our office for more information.

NEW! Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP)
LIHWAP is a federally funded program designed to help income-eligible Ohioans with their water and wastewater bills. Eligible clients at or below 175% federal poverty guidelines, who have been disconnected, or have a disconnection notice, or either need to establish new service, or pay to transfer service. The program will run from October 1, 2022 - September 30, 2023.
