Funds are usually available beginning in March or April of each year for this one-time payment. The Emergency Food and Shelter Program was established in 1983, with legislation that created a National Board, chaired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) consisting of representatives from the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities USA, The Jewish Federations of North America, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA, The Salvation Army and United Way Worldwide. *Free Tax Clinic Provides free tax preparation services for people who qualify (Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of less than $51,000.00 per year).

The jobs and direct client assistance help the community. *Homeless Crisis Response Program (HCRP) The HCRP was established to better meet the needs of Ohio’s homeless persons. This program provides emergency housing to rapidly move persons from emergency shelter into permanent housing. A caseworker can help you complete the required documentation to determine eligibility. Applicants must provide verification for the past 13 weeks of income for all household members and verification of homelessness to ensure being able to meet the eligibility requirement, which is at or below 30% of area median income(AMI). Once you are determined eligible, the case worker will coordinate payment to the landlord, mortgage holder or utility provider. *Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) HEAP allows eligible clients (175% Federal Poverty guidelines) a one-time utility payment. The Winter Crisis program typically runs from November 1 to March 31 each year. If you are eligible for assistance, the amount of your one-time HEAP benefit will depend on federal funding levels, how many people live with you, total household income, and the primary fuel you use to heat your home. In most cases, the one-time benefit will be a credit applied to your energy bill by your utility company (or fuel vendor). A household applying for HEAP must report total gross household income for the past 12 months for all members except those under the age of 18 years old. The Summer HEAP Crisis program for eligible clients runs from July 1 to August 31.

Percentage of Income Payment Plan, PIPP Plus, helps make monthly payments more affordable on a year-round basis. When PIPP Plus payments are made on time and in full, customers earn an incentive credit and a credit for past-due amounts. Each time you pay your required monthly payment on time and in full, you no longer owe the rest of that month’s billed amount. You also receive a 1/24 credit toward any old debt. If you make full, on-time payments for 24 straight months, all of your past-due amounts will be eliminated. Households with a gross yearly household income at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty guidelines are eligible to participate in PIPP Plus. *Prevention, Retention, Contingency (PRC) The Prevention, Retention and Contingency (PRC) program is a critical tool for Ohio counties to provide benefits and services needed to overcome immediate barriers to help families become and stay self-sufficient.

The services and benefits provided under the PRC program fall into three categories: Prevention services: designed to divert families from ongoing cash assistance by providing short-term non-assistance.
