Transportation Assistance
Transportation assistance available
through the Department of Social Services falls into two basic categories:
employment related assistance and medical related assistance. We can
provide help to people who receive TANF, Safety Net, CAP, or Medicaid. Click

Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP)
Many low-income people have
difficulty paying their heating bills during the winter months. The
Department of Social Services can help people with their fuel
bills. Eligibility is based on income. Elderly residents can apply
through the Allegany County
Office for the Aging.
Others can apply through
Accord Corporation. This program operates
only seasonally, generally from late fall till spring.
Case Management Services
Staff from the Department’s
Temporary Assistance Unit can help people who receive TANF, Safety Net,
Food Stamps, or Medicaid to solve problems, such as child care, housing,
and budgeting assistance. In most cases, this assistance is provided
through referrals to specialized services.
