Hocking County • July 8, 2025
Good morning, Hocking County. The mercury is climbing, but relief is on the horizon for many local families feeling the financial heat this summer. HAPCAP and the Ohio Department of Development have launched their seasonal assistance program, offering a cool $500-$800 toward electric bills or cooling equipment for eligible households. With temperatures soaring, this timely initiative provides a financial breeze for residents who meet the income guidelines—like a family of four earning under $56,262.50 annually.
Last year's program was nothing short of a lifeline, helping over 1,000 families across our tri-county region keep their homes comfortable during the sweltering months. For households with seniors or medical needs, this assistance isn't just about comfort—it's essential protection during dangerous heat waves. The program runs through September 30, giving residents plenty of time to tap into this summer survival resource.
