Heating and cooling a home for a family on a fixed income can be difficult. OIC administers the Ohio Department of Development's Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) to help Clark County families with home energy costs. The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) is a federally funded program that provides eligible Ohioans assistance with their home energy bills.
The Ohio Department of Development and OIC of Clark County (HEAP) will help income‐eligible Ohioans stay cool during the cold summer months. The HEAP Summer Crisis Program (SCP) provides eligible Ohioans assistance in paying a utility electric bill, or assistance paying for central air conditioning repairs. Income eligible households with an older household member (60 years or older who can provide physician documentation that cooling assistance is needed due to health), with a disconnect notice or who have been shut off, are trying to establish new service on their electric bill, or require air conditioning. Conditions can include such things as lung disease, Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or asthma.
The program will run from July 1, 2024 through September 30, 2024
To apply for the program, households are required to schedule an appointment with OIC of Clark County (HEAP). Details regarding how to apply are provided below.
