Good afternoon.

The Winter Crisis Program (WCP) provides financial aid once per heating season from Nov. 1 through March 31 for income-eligible consumers who:

  • Have been disconnected or received a shut-off notice;
  • Have less than a 25% supply of bulk fuel; or
  • Need to establish new service or pay to transfer service.

 

The WCP may also be used for fuel tank replacement and/or testing, and heating unit repair or replacement.

 

WCP is administered by the local community action agencies/Energy Assistance Providers. To locate the one serving your area, or learn more about other utility assistance and disconnection protections, visit www.occ.ohio.gov/utilityassistance. OCC’s assistance page also has a wealth of information about additional assistance and disconnection protections. OCC does not administer the WCP, or any other assistance programs.

 

Learn more about The Winter Crisis Program (WCP) at www.occ.ohio.gov/factsheet/home-energy-assistance-program-heap#wcp or by scanning the QR code on the attached poster. A PNG suitable for social media is also attached for your use.

 

Continued thanks for all you do!

Amy
