Residents in Mid-Michigan are wasting no time in making sure they have heat this winter. The Mid-Michigan Community Action Agency says they've already received several hundred requests for heating assistance and more are on the way.
Jill Sutton is the Executive Director of the Mid-Michigan Community Action Agency.
"Yes we've definitely seen an increase, in fact this is the first year we've actually had funding going into our new fiscal year in October where we could actually help people this time of year. So for us we'd rather get to them now before the cold weather starts."
Sutton says last year they helped 1,600 people with heating while 2,300 did not receive assistance. She says this year may the same way or worse.
