With an Energy Assistance Application you may be eligible to receive assistance with your energy bills. The Area Agency on Aging Region 9, Inc. (AAA9), is currently offering free assistance to anyone aged 60 and over who needs help applying for the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP). HEAP is a federally funded program administered by the Ohio Department of Development, Office of Community Service (OCS) and is designed to help eligible low-income Ohioans meet the high costs of home heating. For more information about the HEAP please select a link below. Also we have added a downloadable HEAP Application.
