HEAP (Home Energy
Assistance Program) assists individuals and
families with heating and energy
needs. HEAP
is a federally funded seasonal (October-May)
program based on household size and income,
assisting families facing electric shut offs
or those low on home heating fuel. OFO
operates as an alternate certifier for the
HEAP program, under contract with the Otsego
County Department of Social Services.
WRAP (Weatherization
Referral Assistance Program) assists
individuals and families with referrals to
various programs such as Weatherization,
Power Partners and other home energy
efficiency services. WRAP operates during
the summer when HEAP is not in season.
Emergency Utility Program
helps those with similar needs as HEAP but
serves mainly as a “wrap around” when HEAP
is closed (May-October).
