You May Qualify for a Credit to your Winter Heating Bill

As we get ready for another heating season, Community Action Council of Portage County (CAC) wants to remind Portage County residents that we are accepting applications for the 2019-2020 Regular HEAP Program.

Regular HEAP is a federally funded program designed to help income eligible Ohioans with their winter heating bills by offering a one-time credit to the heating bill for eligible households. 

Portage County residents can also apply for the Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus (PIPP+) program year round.  PIPP+ helps income eligible households manage their energy bills year round, by allowing them to pay bills based on a percentage of their income each month.  Eligible households must have a total household income which is at or below 150% of the federal poverty level, and apply for all available energy assistance programs.
Current PIPP+ customers are also reminded that re-verification is required every 12 months or whenever the household income changes.

For more information, CAC at 330-297-1456 and press 0 for the receptionist.  To make an appointment, you can call our toll free appointment line at 877-298-4307, or you can make an appointment online at https://capappointments.com.
