Success Stories

We Helped an Elder Stay Warm in Winter

An elder complained that the Heating Assistance Program, run by the Department of Health and Social Services, had not issued a heating voucher they had been approved to receive. We contacted the Heating Assistance Program and learned that a “glitch” in the system that manages heating assistance applications and vouchers had affected the elder’s voucher. After that, the Heating Assistance Program issued the voucher to the elder’s preferred heating oil vendor.
