A particular lady that works here named Danielle is nasty and very unprofessional, she acts like she hates her job!!! They never get back with you. I applied for utility assistance because I’m about to have a baby in a few weeks and I’m barely working. My utility bills are not even affordable. I have to decide weather I’m feeding myself or paying my electric/gas bill. My utilities are being cut off this week!! And these ladies in the office make it more stressful playing 21 questions. They really don’t want you to get the help. If I didn’t need the help why would I be going as far as applying on their website and uploading every document. And the lady asking me Irrelevant questions about how I pay rent back in July of this year. If you don’t want to help the needy, then say that 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Community Action is horrible no one responds to anything you can't even reach a operator I called the mayor's office and his assistant said there is no reason for them to be closed because city hall is up and running people are getting things shut off due to their negligence there is a place that helps with bills and they even said community action is sitting on all this funding for covid and are not helping people I advise anyone having trouble call your congressman attorney general or whoever will listen

I would give them 0 stars if possible. Was on pipp/heap. They kicked me off after a year saying they never received my recert paperwork. But I have an email from them saying they received it. Tried to get that straightened out but noone never replies back to you. By the way they will tell you that if have an appointment you will not get shut off....that is a lie.Got stuck with a 900 aes bill. No one answers emails or the phone. It is impossible to get ahold of anyone there.they either need to close this place down or get a new staff because NO ONE helps you!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Is there any rent assistance available? My rent will be due and I am now unemployed with no income.

Darryl Parson | Nov 2, 2018
Miami Valley Community Action Partnership | Nov 2, 2018

We do not have rent assistance (aka "HCRP") in Montgomery county. We do have funds in Preble, Darke and Greene counties. Kathy's answer is on point, 211 is the best first step.

metalchick315 | Nov 1, 2021

There is Community Action Partnership off Main but you usually have to make an appointment or wait in line really early in the morning, usually a couple hours before they open because they only take so many people a day. I looked at Ohio.gov and their page says you can apply online with an application they provide. The website is: energyhelp.ohio.gov If you go on Ohio.gov and reach about the PIPP program, it will give you links to everything and step by step instructions on how to apply. Hope this helps! Take care!

How can I get help paying my rent?

Tara Mullin | Nov 1, 2020
Miami Valley Community Action Partnership | Nov 1, 2021

We currently have a waiting list but are continuing to process applications and our new online portal will be open in March. The eviction moratorium is still in place until at least March 31 and will likely be extended again but you need to submit an eviction declaration to your landlord - check our website for instructions and the documents you'll need. More funding is on the way for 12 to 15 months of assistance going back to April, 2020. https://miamivalleycap.org/

Mary Morris | Nov 1, 2020

Maybe, if you qualify for pipp or pipp plus and you have to have an account number already set up. If you have time to stop by there office and ask the front desk what you need to get them in your name and help with the bills. They will tell you everything you need to do it and probably make your appointment

If you dont they will just tell you to get what you need and to make another appointment

Miami Valley Community Action Partnership | Nov 2, 2019

Don't worry, they can try to do a manual hold looking up your name and social security number, those are the important details.

Question if someone uses someone else's income information to qualify if that person who's income is used has not lived in said residence for over a year. Said occupents don't fully tell all finances for fear of losing pipp. What can be done.

Kurt Thompson | Nov 2, 2019
Unstoppable Gaming | Nov 2, 2019

U have to live in the residence and claim the right amount of income. If u are not telling the truth and they find out the utility company will want all the bill due and that means past due also. Then the PIPP will no longer apply at that address. Sounds like a mess waiting to happen. Good Luck, hope it gets straightened out.

Jeanine Sullivan | Nov 2, 2018

You should be on both if you qualify. They do them both at the same time. At the end of your appoint, if the specialist tells you how much you'll be paying each month for DP&L and Vectren, then you are on PIPP. You can ask your utility companies if they have you listed as a PIPP customer. Don't hesitate to walk in and ask the receptionist. She probably won't have the answer but she'll know who to ask. Unfortunately, you'll probably get nowhere if you call. Good luck!
