That should up to ur landlord

Hi Betty, we are sorry to hear about that. The "Summer Crisis" program for air conditioning begins on July 1st. In the short term, we recommend calling 2-1-1 to see if they are aware of any programs available now. If you are a senior citizen (60+), please contact the Licking County Aging Program to see if they are aware of any programs. I will forward your question on to staff to see if they have any other suggestions. Take care!

The state's website energyhelp.ohio.gov has an option for submitting information online, but, for better services, we recommend submitting documents physically when possible.

I know they help with gas heating an electric not sure about housing. I have heard of Metro who might be able to help. An there is apartments that are based on income in Newark but I dont know the qualifications needed.

If you do go there for help wear a mask real catch the flu or some kind of virus the building is old used to be an old Grain Mill turn into an office / Head Start worked in the building I've been sick for over a week with the flu virus nearly died

For best assistance, they recommend the walk in hours (8-10), but are open until 4 for appointments

No, St Vincent De Paul down the street from Leads is a food pantry though

no, the local food pantries are divided by address so depending on where you at will determine where you can go. There is an emergency pantry at salvation army on east main that you may visit every 3 months and at the old Everett school every friday for anyone. your lical pantry is 15 visits per year, 1 per month and 3 emergency visits. if youare near downtown most likely you will go to the pantry located behind the water dept. on 5th street which is wednesday and saturday 10am to 11:45 -

I believe so

I they it from 8 am to 10 am

The last time I went in without an appointment I was told to come in at 7:30 in the morning. They open at 8 and take the first 10 people. It works best if you have all your paperwork together. Makes the visit go quicker.

Not responsive to African American Community. Very little assistance in ELDERLY population on the East Side.
