Applications may be picked up October 15th, 2024 during business hours of 7:30am-4pm. The black box will only be available outside their agency doors with the program specific applications inside. Once completed, the application can be submitted in their agency, in their drop box, or emailed to melinda.purpero@jfs.ohio.gov.
