OSWEGO COUNTY – The staff of the Oswego County Office for the Aging/NY Connects will visit several communities in Oswego County during March to offer program information and assistance with applications to those who are unable to visit the Oswego office. Appointments for the office hours are highly encouraged.
“In a continuing effort to reach out to the community and make information and assistance more accessible to the population of Oswego County, our staff is working with community partners to bring office hours to multiple locations,” said Oswego County Office for the Aging Director Sara Sunday. “Lack of transportation is an issue for many in the county, and we are trying to reach out in the community by bringing the Office for the Aging/NY Connects staff to you.”
The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), which helps low-income people pay the cost of home heating, is a great opportunity to take advantage of these community hours. People can meet with OFA staff and get help with their applications before the program closes on March 31.
For HEAP application assistance, Oswego County residents must be age 60 or older and meet the following maximum monthly income eligibility guidelines: $2,825 for a one-person household; $3,730 for a two-person household; $4,608 for a three-person household; and $5,485 for a four-person household.
Those who are interested in making an appointment should call the OFA weekdays at 315-349-3484.
