The HEAP Winter Crisis program will provide assistance to eligible households that are threatened with disconnection, have been disconnected or have less than a 25 percent supply of bulk fuel.
“We are working to make sure Ohioans stay warm this winter,” said David Goodman, ODAS director, in a statement.
To qualify for the Winter Crisis program, a household must be threatened with disconnection, have been disconnected or have less than a 25 percent supply of bulk fuel.
The household must also have a gross income at or below 175 percent of the federal poverty level. For a family of four, the annual income must be at or below $42,437.50.
Last winter, more than 130,000 Ohioans were helped by the program statewide.
