Summer Crisis Program has started

The Ohio Development Services Agency and Kno- Ho-Co-Ashland Community Action Commission will help income-eligible Ohioans stay cool during the hot summer months . The Home Energy Assistance Summer Crisis Program provides eligible Ohioans assistance paying an electric bill . The program runs through Sept . 30 .
To apply for the program , clients are required to complete an intake process with Kno-Ho-Co-Ashland Community Action Commission . Clients need to provide copies of the following documents : their most recent energy bills ( electric and heating ), a list of all household members and proof of income for the last 30 days or 12 months for each member , proof of U . S . citizenship or legal residency for all household members , photo ID , proof of disability ( if applicable ), Social Security numbers for all household members , physician documentation that cooling assistance is needed for a household member ’ s health ( if there isn ’ t a household member
over the age of 60 ), and proof of service disconnection or threat of disconnection if not over 60 or medical eligibility .
The Summer Crisis Program assists lowincome households with an older household member ( 60 years or older ), or that can provide physician documentation that cooling assistance is needed for a household member ’ s health , or have been diagnosed with COVID-19 , or have a disconnect notice , have been shut off , are trying to establish new service on their electric bill or require air-conditioning . Medical conditions for those qualifications can include such things as lung disease , chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma .
The total benefit amount payable to the electric utility is up to $ 500 for PUCOregulated utilities , $ 800 for non-PUCO ( co-ops ) or up to $ 500 may be available for repair of a central airconditioning unit . Also , qualifying households may be eligible for an air-conditioner and / or fan if the
household has not received this benefit in the past three program years . Households do not have to be in disconnect status if a household member is over 60 or has a documented medical condition ; however , those in disconnect status must receive utility assistance before additional benefits will be considered .
Income guidelines are at 175 % of the Federal Poverty Level . A family of four may earn up to $ 3,811.64 in the past 30 days . Due to COVID-19 concerns , for the safety of staff and clients , there will be no face-to-face intake . Applications will be completed via phone interview once all the required documentation is completed and submitted .
