Onondaga County Department of Adult & Long Term Care Services, has announced a series of outreach events designed to assist seniors in Onondaga County with applying for the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP.)
HEAP provides limited subsidies for heating and utility costs. According to Lisa D. Alford, “We know there are many seniors in our community who could use help paying their energy bills, and we will be visiting community centers and libraries, throughout the county, to reach them. Remember, HEAP assistance is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and you need to file an application soon!”
The Office for Aging will be holding community outreach sessions at a variety of locations throughout the city and county to help seniors age 60, or older, and income eligible, apply for HEAP benefits. Appointments are not needed, and if you are not able to attend any of the outreach sessions, you may call (315) 435-2362 and request that an application be mailed. Assistance will be offered at the following locations, dates and times. More outreach sessions are planned for 2016:
