The Winter Crisis Program is available now through March 31 to provide utility assistance for electric and heating bills for Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca, and Wood counties. The program can help residents avoid a utility shut-off, reconnect a utility, or provide bulk fuel supplies such as propane, wood, and fuel oil for households with less than a 25% bulk fuel supply.

The Winter Crisis Program is available for households at or below 175% federal poverty guidelines (e.g. $27,387.50/household of one; $56,262.50 household of four), or 60% of state median income for households with 8 or more members.

Scheduling and details regarding the Winter Crisis Program are available at www.glcap.org/utilityhelp or by calling 419-273-4212.
