Columbus, Ohio – Beginning today, United Way of Central Ohio will make over $198,000 in immediate assistance available to help people stay in their homes. The assistance is available to AEP customers in Franklin County and will be administered by United Way partners Columbus Housing Partnership, FIRSTLINK, Lutheran Social Services and The Salvation Army.

This special gift from AEP Ohio will help hundreds of low- and middle-income local families who are at risk of losing their homes because of late mortgage or rent payments, or who need to make rental deposits. It is part of AEP Ohio’s “Partnership with Ohio” fund which is enabling 49 United Ways and eleven foodbanks across Ohio help people in need of food, healthcare and housing.

AEP Ohio turned to United Way of Central Ohio because of the organization’s expertise and experience in identifying and funding effective health and human service programs. United Way selected programs to receive the funding that will quickly and efficiently utilize the much-needed gift. AEP customers in Franklin County can find out if they qualify for the assistance by calling 211.
