October 21, 2024 - Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency: Home Energy Assistance Program The Winter Crisis Program
The Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Winter Crisis Program is under way. This program is designed to provide qualifying households a one-time benefit during the winter months to help with reconnecting or stopping disconnection of utility service, transferring services, or obtaining new service. The Winter Crisis Program offers up to $175 towards households’ utility service. Funding is also available for households with bulk fuel usage. Applicants wishing to apply for bulk fuel must have 25% or less fuel capacity and have an established account in their name at the time of application. Applicants applying for the Winter Crisis program must be at or below 175% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, reside in Hamilton County and provide required documents. PIPP PLUS is a year-round payment plan that offers households’ affordable monthly payments that help maintain services. Each time a household makes their PIPP PLUS payment on time and in full, they will receive credits towards old utility debt and prevent new utility debt from occurring.
