Cold weather turns attention to the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), a federally-funded program managed by the Ohio Department of Development to help income-eligible consumers with winter heating costs.
This funding consists of two components: HEAP and the Winter Crisis Program (WCP), also called Emergency HEAP (E-HEAP). To qualify for either program, click here for information on the Ohio Consumers Counsel website and factsheet.
If you have questions about eligibility for this and other programs, please contact the Agency by calling 937-223-HELP (4357) or 1-800-258-7277, use the online Chat or the online form.
