Summer Cooling Program 2008

Hocking . Athens . Perry Community Action is now taking appointments for its Summer Cooling Program. The program will begin on July 1, 2008 and will operate until all funds are obligated, but no later than August 31, 2008.  This program provides assistance for electric bills for households with members 60 years of age or older and/or families with certain medical conditions. Due to an unprecedented need for assistance during the Winter Crisis Program, the benefit will be reduced this season. There will be NO air conditioner assistance.

Eligible clients may receive a one-time benefit, up to $100 payment toward their electric bill.  All applicants must bring:

• proof of income for the past three months
• a copy of their electric bill, gas bill, and/or documentation of main heating source such as propane.
• social security cards for everyone in the household
• birth certificate, driver's license, or other document that clearly shows age.
• documentation from a physician stating that the client or someone in the client's household has a medical condition which requires electric (if under the age of 60).

Please call your local Community Action Office for an appointment or if you have any questions.  Walk-in appointments are available but are limited on a daily basis.
