Medina County recently issued the following announcement.
Assistance is available to help with home energy bills. The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) helps Ohioans at or below 175% of the federal poverty guidelines pay their heating bills. Applied directly to the customer's utility or bulk fuel bill, the benefit can help manage heating and cooling costs. HEAP benefits are applied to an individual's energy bill after January 1st. This is not an emergency program.
When applying, be ready to provide the following documents:
• Most recent utility bills
• A list of all household members (including birth dates and Social Security numbers, and proof of income for the past 30 days, 12 months for certain income types.)
• Proof of U.S. citizenship or legal residency for all household members
• Proof of disability (if applicable)
If eligible, you will receive assistance toward your home energy bills. This program is made possible through a grand from the Ohio Department of Aging and the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging.
If you would like more information, applications, or to sign up, Please contact the Medina Office for Older Adults/ADRC Department at 330-723-9514.
