The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) is a federally funded program. It is designed to help eligible low-income Ohioans meet the high costs of home heating.

Income Eligible below 175% Federal Poverty Income Guidelines (see Benefits – Income Guidelines for user friendly chart)

The amount of your one-time HEAP benefit will depend on federal funding levels, how many people live with you, total household income, and the primary fuel you use to heat your home. In most cases, the one-time benefit will be a credit applied to your energy bill by your utility company (or fuel vendor). This program runs from Nov. 1- March 31. If you have a shut-off notice, you can apply for emergency HEAP.
