How to apply for Lycoming County Emergency Aid — Referral Coordination in Pennsylvania

Lycoming County Assistance Office + STEP Office of Aging (the designated Area Agency on Aging) + community-based organizations — coordinated emergency aid framework

Who it's for

Lycoming County emergency aid: (1) Lycoming CAO for Cash Assistance / Emergency LIHEAP / Medicaid (570-327-3300); (2) the STEP Office of Aging, the designated Area Agency on Aging for Lycoming and Clinton counties, for senior case management (570-326-0587); (3) Lycoming hospital safety net (570-321-1000); (4) River Valley Transit (RVT) + Williamsport Bureau of Transportation for transportation (570-326-2500); (5) Catholic Social Services of the Diocese of Scranton; (6) Central Pennsylvania Food Bank (27-county central PA regional food bank); (7) Dollar Energy Fund. Dial 211 for general referrals.

Lycoming 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 Lycoming and Clinton 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.
