Heating Assistance Available (HEAP)




Heating Assistance Available 
Application Deadline: May 31, 2025

The Ohio Department of Development and Medina County Office for Older Adults (MCOOA) want to remind older Ohioans that assistance is available to help with their home energy bills. The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) helps Ohioans at or below 175% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for a household of up to seven members and 60% of State Median Income for a household of eight or more members to pay their heating bills. 

Applied directly to the customer’s utility or bulk fuel bill, the benefit can help manage heating costs. Older Ohioans may go to their local Area Agency on Aging office for help with assembling the required documents and completing their HEAP application. They may also visit www.energyhelp.ohio.gov to apply online or to download a copy of the application.  

When applying, individuals need to have copies of the following documents:

• Most recent utility bills.
• A list of all household members (including birth dates and Social Security numbers).
• Proof of income for the past 30 days for all household members (12 months for certain income types).
• Proof of U.S. citizenship or legal residency for all household members.
• Proof of disability (if applicable).

HEAP benefits are applied to an individual’s energy bill after Jan. 1. Applications for the HEAP program must be received by May 31, 2025.

For more information or assistance with applying for a HEAP benefit, contact MCSAS at 330-723-9514.

To be connected to your local Energy Assistance Provider, call (800) 282-0880 (hearing impaired clients may dial 711 for assistance) or visit www.energyhelp.ohio.gov.

Strategic Plan




You can read and download the Strategic Plan here.

The past three years have been challenging to be sure, but also extremely successful in many ways. We discovered as an agency that we can adapt our services to continue to meet the needs of seniors in the community. We developed new programming in 2020, such as Shop for a Senior, which later fit perfectly into our new volunteer program, Compassion in Action, which began in 2022. We were able to bring Medina County Adult Protective Service under the MCSAS umbrella in 2021. Having these services as part of MCSAS expands the wraparound services available to seniors of Medina County.

The agency began the 2023-2025 strategic planning session with a community survey in September 2022. These survey results were taken and discussed at our strategic planning session, which took place on October 5, 2022. The strategic planning team included senior center participants, staff, advisory council members and foundation board members. The report before you is a result of the survey and the work session.

Take this opportunity to read through the document and see the improvements, changes and expansions that we are planning over the next three years. We continue to strive for the best for the seniors of Medina County.
