EMERGENCY HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (E-HEAP) BEGINS NOVEMBER 1ST

 

Hocking . Athens . Perry Community Action will begin its Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program (E-HEAP) Wednesday, November 1st.  This program is designed to help families who are facing an emergency situation maintain and/or restore electric/gas service or provide a bulk fuel (propane, wood, coal, fuel oil, kerosene).  An emergency situation is defined as having a disconnect notice on your electric or gas, or having less than a 10 day supply of bulk fuel.  This assistance is available only once per heating season.

 

To qualify you must be income eligible and be in an emergency situation, as defined above.  Applicants must present verification of three months income, Social Security numbers for all family members, proof of disability (if applicable), as well as copies of their utility bills.

 

Appointments are highly recommended.  A very limited amount of first-come, first-serve openings will be available on a daily basis.  To schedule an appointment, or if you have any questions, please contact the designated county office:
