How to apply for Clinton County Emergency Aid — Referral Coordination in Pennsylvania
Clinton County Assistance Office + STEP Office of Aging (the designated Area Agency on Aging) + community-based organizations — coordinated emergency aid framework
Who it's for
Clinton County emergency aid: (1) Clinton CAO for Cash Assistance / Emergency LIHEAP / Medicaid (570-748-2971); (2) the STEP Office of Aging, the designated Area Agency on Aging for Clinton and Lycoming counties, for senior case management (570-326-0587); (3) Clinton hospital safety net (570-893-5000); (4) STEP Transportation shared ride for transportation (570-323-7575); (5) Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Erie (covers NCPA) or Diocese of Scranton (covers Susquehanna PA Northern Tier); (6) Central Pennsylvania Food Bank or Second Harvest NW PA Food Bank; (7) Dollar Energy Fund. Dial 211 for general referrals.
Clinton County uses a referral model. Senior case management comes from the STEP Office of Aging (570-326-0587), the designated Area Agency on Aging for Clinton and Lycoming counties, not from a county aging department. Each program sets its own limits and the agency makes the final decision. Not legal or financial advice.
People who qualify for one senior program often qualify for others. See everything you may qualify for — free, no SSN, about five minutes.
