HEAP

The Ohio Development Services Agency wants to remind Ohioans that assistance is available to help with their home energy bills.

The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) helps Ohioans at or below 175 percent 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 costs.

Ohioans can visit www.evergyhelp.ohio.gov to apply online. HEAP benefits are applied to an individual’s energy bill after January 1st. Applications for the HEAP program must be received by May 31, 2021. For more information on HEAP, visit www.energyhelp.ohio.gov, or call 1-800-282-0880 or give Brittney a call at 937-456-4947.
