Summer Crisis Program runs through September 30th.
The Ohio Development Services Agency and Clinton County Community Action will once again help income-eligible Ohioans stay cool during the summer months.
“This year, we’ve extended the length of the program and expanded eligibility requirements so we can help more Ohioans during this health crisis,” Lydia Mihalik, director of the Ohio Development Services Agency said. “We’re working with Clinton County Community Action every day to help Ohioans in need.“
The Summer Crisis Program assists low-income households with a member (60 years or older), households that can provide physician documentation that cooling assistance is needed for a household member’s health, have been diagnosed with COVID-19 in 2020, have a disconnect notice, have been shut off, establishing new service on electric bill or require air conditioning and/or fan.
