Regular HEAP Program Applications Are Now Available

Applications for the 2009-2010 Regular HEAP program will be accepted by the Ohio Department of Development from August 1, 2009 through May 31, 2010.

Applications are automatically mailed to households that were found eligible for assistance the previous winter heating season.

Applications are also available at local community action agencies, local libraries, County Departments of Job and Family Services, Area Agencies on Aging, and local utility offices.

Appointments for those who want assistance with the application will be available at local community action agencies beginning in early November.

Please note that applicants generally wait 10 to 12 weeks to have the one-time credit applied to their energy bill.
