Summer Crisis Help Will Begin July 1

LCCAA’s Energy Services Department anticipates that the annual Summer Crisis program will begin as usual on July 1, 2022.

Summer Crisis offers help staying cool for low-income residents who also meet one of the other eligibility requirements. The primary qualification for the program is a gross annual income at or below 175 percent of the Federal Poverty Line ($48,563 for a family of four in 2022).

Qualifications and benefits have both been expanded in the past two years as Ohioans navigated the COVID-19 pandemic. Typical benefits include help paying electric bills, a free window air conditioner unit or a free box fan.

Details of the program are finalized in early June with appointments opening June 17. Watch our Facebook page for more announcements.
