HEAP provides emergency assistance with energy bills, a percentage of income payment program and weatherization.

The application satellite office is located in the north meeting room, Council Chambers, second floor, of the Wellington Town Hall. The office is open Monday thru Friday from 7:30 to 4:30. During the morning hours,from 7:30 to 11:30, persons are seen on a first come first served basis. In the afternoon, from 12:30 to 4:30, individuals are seen on an appointment basis. Appointments can be arranged by calling 440-647-6410, or the LCCAA main office at 440-245-1870 ext. 3122.
