    David Goodman, Director

    The State of Ohio is an Equal Opportunity Employer and Provider of ADA Services

    John R. Kasich, Governor

    Governor Kasich, Members of the General Assembly and fellow Ohioans:

    In Fiscal Year 2015, Ohios growing economy meant economic progress for local communities and individual Ohioans. The Development Services Agency is proud to be a part of that growth.

    The states financial health was hard won; closing the $8 billion budget gap and restoring the reserve to insulate us from any difficult times ahead. Now, as the Rainy Day Fund is at an all-time high, our agency recognizes the importance of continuing to grow, stay abreast of changing economic conditions and always be prepared for what lies ahead.

    While focused on the horizon, occasionally checking the rear view mirror ensures we have a full view of the opportunities and partnership opportunities to build a strong future.

    Our highest priority is ensuring accountability for taxpayer money invested in future economic growth. For calendar year 2013, with results reported in 2014, there were 255 major incentives which reached their closeout year; when job creation commitments to the state must be attained. Compliance was at an all-time high of 70.6% for all incentives, from a previous high of 63.5% and an average of 59% over the previous 3 years. Companies work hard to meet their commitments and sometimes market forces are beyond their control. The agency can provide resources for guidance but the use of taxpayer money must produce a return on the taxpayers investment. In the three years the Development Services Agency has been in existence, process improvement has become a part of our culture. With independent evaluators we look for better ways to provide the broadest access, ease-of-use and accountability for taxpayer money.

    Confidence in Ohios improving economy has led to additional private sector investment in Ohio. Much of this is coming from Ohioans with a great idea, an entrepreneurial spirit and willing to take a risk and start their own business. As the number of small business startups grows in Ohio, the Development Services Agency is increasing the quality of support for these businesses. Ohio small business drives the states economic engine, making up 98% of companies and employing half of the private sector workforce. As the state has virtually eliminated the income tax on these businesses, we urge business owners to reinvest the savings in their enterprise. Small business development centers across the state stand ready with information about how to plan for growth, improve manufacturing processes, reduce utility costs, sell their products in foreign markets, hire another employee and more.

    Development Services is working with communities like never before to package incentives in a way that increases private-sector financial participation in a project, identifies projects that can spark additional growth in communities and capitalize on the unique features of individual communities so they can position themselves to attract employers and grow the local economy.

    With this 2015 Annual Report, I renew the commitment of our team to improve our services and efficiency and continue to be good stewards of taxpayer resources.

    David GoodmanDirector, Development Services Agency

    Executive Summary

    It is the mission of the Ohio Development Services Agency (DSA) to support job creation and strengthen communities in Ohio, while ensuring accountability and transparency of taxpayer money and exceptional customer service. In State Fiscal Year 2015 (July 1, 2014 June 30, 2015) the agency focused on four main goals:

    Assist JobsOhio and the JobsOhio Regional Network with recruiting employers by providing and monitoring taxpayer supported incentives,

    Assist small businesses and entrepreneurs with what they need to grow through business guidance and access to capital,

    Assist communities to advance their economic development plans:

    Provide seed for ideas which become sustainable in a reasonable time frame

    Provide catalyst for additional economic development

    Encourage unique, authentic and appealing lifestyle which attracts employers, and

    Help low-income Ohioans with housing, heat and other support.

    Increasing Access to Our Programs

    A new Program Finder on our website provides information on the more than 70 programs housed at the agency. The information is provided in an easy to understand format, listing related programs and contact information for program administrators.

    Increasing Accountability

    When Ohio provides taxpayer incentives, a company must commit to creating jobs and capital investment in the state. DSA provides oversight and monitoring of these commitments to ensure taxpayers are getting a positive return on their investment. For Calendar Year 2014, DSA had record compliance by businesses that received state incentives.

    Increasing Opportunity

    Following Governor John Kasichs lead that all Ohioans should have access to the states improving economy, we are working closely with the Department of Administrative Services to expand the number of minority-owned companies that do business with the state, and 2014 was a record year. The number of goods and services purchased by the state from minority-owned companies, the number of cabinet agencies that met the legislatively-mandated 15 percent goal for purchasing, and the number of Minority Business Development Centers across the state all increased. It is important that this momentum continue.

    Increasing Leisure Visits to Ohio

    DSA recognizes that tourism is an economic driver and can be an essential part of a communitys economic development plan. Working with the industry and the TourismOhio Advisory Board, TourismOhio developed a strategic plan for increasing tourist visits. It is the first time Ohio has a written plan and measurable goals. TourismOhio also is working on identifying a new brand for the state and aggressively promoting our distinct, authentic identity to businesses and visitors in Ohio, across the country, and around the world.

    Reducing Bureaucracy

    Each year DSA helps more than 400,000 low-income Ohioans manage their energy costs. To ensure customer service, a dedicated 1-800 number and call center team answer questions and help resolve customer issues. The call center and application processing teams are cross-trained, so each team member knows how to answer customer calls and process applications. DSA also upgraded its call tracking system. Now call center managers can adjust staffing levels to handle calls with real time information.

    Overall, DSA works to administer more than 70 programs to strengthen job creation and build strong communities. The following report provides an overview of the impact the agency is making across the state.

    Growing Jobs

    JobsOhio and the JobsOhio Regional Network Partners work to bring businesses to Ohio and encourage existing Ohio businesses to expand in the state. Many times, state incentives ensure that companies pick Ohio over competing states. These incentives require that the company create jobs and make a capital investment in the state. The Development Services Agency approves and monitors these commitments to ensure taxpayers receive a positive return on their investment.

    The Job Creation Tax Credit is one of the state incentives used by JobsOhio and the JobsOhio Regional Network. Applications for the tax credit are reviewed and approved by the Ohio Tax Credit Authority, a five-member independent board consisting of taxation and economic development professionals. The Job Creation Tax Credit is based on jobs created and new state payroll tax generated. It is performance-based, meaning that the credit is proportionate to the number of jobs created. The company must meet the requirements set forth by the Tax Credit Authority, such as creating a certain number of jobs for a specific time period. In Calendar Year 2014, the Authority executed 127 new Job Creation Tax Credit agreements, reflecting commitments to create 11,687 new jobs, retain 17,113 jobs, generate $529.1 million in new payroll and invest more than $1.9 billion in fixed-assets. For a list of Job Creation Tax Credits, see Appendix 1.

    The Job Retention Tax Credit and Data Center Tax Exemption incentivize keeping jobs in Ohio and locating Data Centers here. There were four previously approved Job Retention Tax agreements executed for Calendar Year 2014. There were two Data Center Sales Tax Exemption projects approved in Calendar Year 2014. For a list of Job Retention Tax Credits, see Appendix 2. For a list of Data Center Sales Tax Exemptions, see Appendix 3.

    In Calendar Year 2014, municipalities and counties throughout the state of Ohio provided 58 newly executed Enterprise Zone Program agreements, which offer exemptions from property taxation for eligible new investments in capital assets. The projects will provide new local property tax revenues and, where applicable, increases in local municipal income taxes, bringing new economic resources to the community. For the previous Calendar Year, 8 of the 58 agreements included a supplemental school compensation agreement. Information on these agreements is included in Appendix 4.

    All municipalities and counties with active enterprise zones are required to annually report specific project information and updates to the agency. This information can also be found in Appendix 4.

    Developing the Workforce

    For companies expanding in or relocating to Ohio, the readiness of the workforce is critical. The Ohio Incumbent Workforce Training Voucher Program is preparing Ohio workers for the jobs of today and tomorrow. In State Fiscal Year 2015, DSA invested $29,398,154 to train Ohio workers in the following industries:

    Advanced Manufacturing Aerospace and Aviation Automotive Back Office Bio-Health Corporate Headquarters

    Energy Financial Services Food Processing Information Technology

    and Services

    Logistics Polymers and Chemicals Research and Development

    The Career Exploration Internship Program for high school students launched on October 28, 2014 and was heavily marketing to small businesses, local community leaders and educators. As of June 30, 2015, there were 45 grant agreements with companies to mentor student employees. The state committed total training costs in the amount of $101,209.00. This is a performance-based reimbursable grant, so no funds are distributed until the requirements of the program are met. Students must spend 20 weeks and 200 hours with a for-profit company learning about the career. The company is reimbursed up to 50% of the student wages on completion of the exploration period. The closeout of first grant is expected on December 29, 2015.

    Encouraging Innovation

    The Development Services Agency is helping entrepreneurs and small and minority businesses develop and grow. Ohio Third Frontier is charged with supporting the Ohio technology economy and fueling its growth. During Fiscal Year 2015, the Ohio Third Frontier Commission awarded more than $75 million to help support and grow new companies and industries in Ohio.

    In State Fiscal Year 2015, the Ohio Third Frontier Commission targeted programs with the highest return on investment entrepreneurship, startup and early-stage companies. This includes companies in the growing industries of medical technology and information technology. The Commission found that startup and early-stage companies performed best in jobs created, follow-on investment and product sales, creating 40 percent of Ohio Third Frontier related jobs, while receiving 29 percent of the funding.

    To better serve Ohio entrepreneurs and start-up companies, the Ohio Third Frontier Entrepreneurial Signature Program consolidated regional entrepreneurial resources. The consolidation of resources encourages regional entities to collaborate as they support early stage technology companies. A list of Ohio Third Frontier awards are detailed in Appendix 5.

    Global Cardiovascular Innovation Center (Cleveland, Cuyahoga County)

    During Fiscal Year 2015, the largest single Ohio Third Frontier grant recipient reached a significant milestone, as the Global Cardiovascular Innovation Center exceeded all of its initial commitments:

    created 861 jobs

    generated $597 million in follow-on investment, funded 45 companies, and attracted 30 additional companies

    The Ohio Venture Capital Program was created by the Ohio General Assembly in 2003 to increase the investment capital available for Ohio-based business enterprises in the seed or early stages of business development. The Ohio Capital Fund was funded by a bond issuance and backed by Ohio tax credits.Buckeye Venture Partners serves as the sole program administrator, guided by investment guidelines set forth in law under the supervision of the Ohio Venture Capital Authority. The Ohio Development Services Agency has a statutory advisory responsibility and provides staff support. In Fiscal Year 2015, the Ohio Venture Capital Authority refinanced a portion of the debt to take advantage of lower interest rates.

    Growing Minority Business

    The Development Services Agency is also focused on providing minority business owners the resources they need to grow. Working closely with the Department of Administrative Services, we are increasing the number of minority-owned companies that do business with the state and reducing the time it takes to become certified.

    Six Minority Business Development Centers are located across Ohio, providing technical assistance, professional consulting, access to capital and assistance obtaining contract opportunities. Starting in Fiscal Year 2016, the state of Ohio will open an additional Minority Business Development Center to respond to the needs of minority business owners.

    The Minority Business Bonding Program provides bid, performance, and payment surety bonds to state certified minority-owned businesses that are unable to obtain bonding through standard surety companies. During State Fiscal Year 2015, the agency acted as surety for bonds in excess of $9 million, assisting more than 17 companies throughout the state. DSA believes this Program can continue to serve as a valuable tool to assist minority- owned businesses.

    In Fiscal Year 2015, the Technology Validation and Start-Up Fund awarded more than $2 million to higher education and nonprofit research institutions and startup and early-stage companies. The grants help license technology, accelerate commercialization and advance products to the marketplace.

    The Commercial Acceleration Loan Fund awarded $8.1 million to help early-stage companies commercialize their products and enter the marketplace. It bridges the gap between an entrepreneurs need for early-stage capital and traditional commercial sources of financing. The program supports companies showing potential to grow substantially in size and value over a relatively short period of time.

    Supporting Small Business

    In addition to the Minority Business Development Centers, the Development Services Agency has 30 Small Business Development Centers across the state. They provide a wide range of services including strategic and financial planning, cash flow analysis, identifying sources of capital, market research and strategy, and training workshops. The Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) help Ohios businesses identify and navigate the contracting process. The eight PTACs helped businesses secure 2,954 contracts worth more than $350 million.

    Assisting women-owned businesses is a focus of the centers. The Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) counseled 3,550 women-owned businesses, which created 1,186 jobs and retained 2,870 jobs. They helped start 279 women-owned businesses. The Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) also helped women-owned businesses win 1,585 contracts totaling more than $46 million in sales; and secure 26 subcontracts. The International Market Access Grant helped 20 woman-owned businesses expand their reach into the global marketplace, while the SBDCs helped generate nearly $13 million in export sales.

    Securing local, state, and federal government contracts can help a small business grow. PTACs help Ohio businesses navigate the contracting process. The eight PTACs across the state equip businesses with the knowledge and support they need to procure contracts by providing one-on-one consulting, training, and networking events.

    Record Exports

    Ohio is the ninth-largest exporting state in the United States. Ohio exports were valued at $52.1 billion in 2014, the most ever. The leading export industries are transportation equipment, machinery, chemicals, primary and fabricated metal products, computer and electronics products, plastics and rubber products, agricultural and food products as the top exports.

    The International Market Access Grant for Exporters program helps small businesses expand to international markets. It provides a 50 percent reimbursement for international marketing and to date has helped more than 200 companies.

    Starting in 2012, the Ohio Export Internship Program partnered with The Ohio State Universitys Fisher College of Business to educate undergraduate business students on the fundamentals of exporting, and to help small- to medium-sized companies in Ohio increase their global sales. Now the program includes an additional 9 students from the Williamson College of Business Administration at Youngstown State University.

    Accessing Capital

    The Development Services Agency administers four programs to increase access to capital. InvestOhio is a key factor in small business growth and provides tax credits for the investment of up to $10 million in a small business, held for a minimum of two years. In State Fiscal Year 2015, the state issued 653 certificates totaling $7.3 million in tax credits. InvestOhio attracts participation from a wide range of industries with manufacturing, hospitality and agriculture-based businesses receiving the majority of investments.

    With funding from the federal State Small Business Credit Initiative, DSA administers three additional programs to help small and minority businesses access capital. The Collateral Enhancement Program provides lending institutions with cash collateral deposits for loans to small businesses. The Ohio Capital Access Program provides financing to for-profit and nonprofit businesses that are having difficulty obtaining business loans through conventional underwriting standards. This program establishes a loan guarantee reserve pool at a lending institution. The Targeted Investment Program is a venture debt program that aims to increase the success of small businesses that demonstrate the ability to grow jobs and revenues over a relatively short period of time.

    To help customers utilize the Ohio Capital Access Program and the Collateral Enhancement Program, Development Services Agency created a checklist for customers. The checklist helps customers identify and submit the proper paperwork and helps the agency portfolio manager ensure the accuracy of the project information before it is submitted for approval. This checklist improves the Agencys accountability of the program and improves the process for the customer.

    What People Are Saying

    Ohio Capital Access Program

    CRC Enterprises LLC, a minority-owned business located in Columbus, Ohio, is hauler of asphalt, gravel, sand and other heavy construction materials. CRC Enterprises received two term loans totaling $136,235 from Heartland Bank. Heartland sought an OCAP guarantee for two reasons: the client was a new bank customer and in a nontraditional industry for the bank.

    Collateral Enhancement Program

    Hernandez Construction Services, Inc., a minority-owned construction management business located in Fairlawn, Ohio, specializing in renovating and building multi-unit apartment complexes and special projects. Hernandez Construction was awarded two of their largest contracts but needed additional capacity on their line of credit with Fifth Third Bank. The contracts were not generating receivables at the time of the request for the increase and the existing receivables and other collateral did not support the increase. Fifth Third turned to the Collateral Enhancement Program to support the line of credit increase. Hernandez Construction was able to increase their line of credit from $350,000 to $500,000 with a CEP deposit of $150,000. The company projects to create 10 jobs.

    I was advised at the Minority Development Financing Advisory Board meeting that I needed to diversify in order to increase my customer base, but to do that I needed more trucks. OCAP helped me finance through Heartland Bank and get one new truck and refinance two others. With the trucks I got a contract with a new company and hired five new employees.

    Improving Efficiency

    Identifying ways to reduce overhead costs helps a business increase its bottom line and prepare for growth. The Energy Loan Fund provides low-cost financing to small businesses, manufacturers, nonprofits, and public entities for energy improvements that reduce energy usage and associated costs. In State Fiscal Year 2015, the Development Services Agency administered seven loans, totaling $7,651,696, which will result in a 37 percent reduction in energy costs for the customers.

    Through the six Ohio Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) affiliates, DSA helps small- and medium-sized manufacturers meet the needs of the changing economy. The partnership helps manufacturers improve efficiencies and develop innovative products and processes through business counseling and development services. During the last year, the Ohio MEP strengthened metrics as well as developed and leveraged affiliate working groups that focused on supporting the One Ohio MEP mission. This will offer opportunities to share lessons and best practices across the network.

    The former Cleveland Metropolitan School District office building is being transformed into the new Drury Plaza Hotel. This historic rehabilitation preserves the 1931 landmark and the new hotel will have approximately 180 rooms, an indoor swimming pool, meeting rooms and restaurant. Improving the energy efficiency of the building was an integral part of the project and included smart thermostats, energy efficient windows, doors, lighting, and new insulation. This project utilized the Energy Loan Fund, Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credits, and the Ohio Water Development Authority Brownfield Loan Fund.

    Building Strong Communities

    Strong, vital communities are essential to creating an environment for job creation and business growth. The Development Services Agency works with communities across Ohio to help them improve government efficiency and infrastructure, revitalize Main Streets and neighborhoods, and provide resources to help Ohioans get back on their feet.

    Communities across Ohio are looking for ways to improve customer service, increase efficiency, and reduce overall service delivery costs. DSA helps communities through the Local Government Innovation Fund. The fund is comprised of two programs the Local Government Innovation Program, which provides grants and loans to study and implement shared services and efficiency measures, and the Local Government Efficiency Program, which provides grants for local government staff to learn and use Lean Six Sigma skills to improve processes and make services simpler, faster, better and less costly. Together these programs are helping communities improve their bottom line. A list of Local Government Innovation Fund projects are detailed in Appendix 6.

    Communities across Ohio are also making investments in infrastructure, Central Business Districts, and neighborhoods. With support of Community Development Block Grant funds, these improvements make communities more attractive for business expansion and improve the quality of life for residents. In Fiscal Year 2015, the program invested more than $28.95 million which combined with more than $76.9 million in matching funds installed 48 miles of water and sewer lines, reconstructed 63 miles of streets, curbs and gutters, replaced 6 bridges, and improved 143 Main Street business buildings.

    Through the Governors Office of Appalachia, the state of Ohio has invested more than $8 million in grants to local governments, community organizations, and nonprofits to improve infrastructure, support job creation and provide workforce training in the region. Upgrading access roads, water treatment plants, and water and sewer lines allow businesses to grow in the region. Grants upgraded technology at medical centers, provided equipment for training programs, and helped purchase equipment for local business incubators. All of these investments are aimed at improving the lives of those living in the 32-county region.

    Revitalizing Neighborhoods

    Each Ohio city, town and village has its own history and historic sites that line downtown districts and town squares. The Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit program works with the community and developers to save these historic sites, turning vacant buildings into office and retail space and residential lofts. The program reached a significant milestone in 2014: the completion of the 100th rehabilitation project. Once-empty buildings are alive with new activity, tourism and private investment. A complete list of Historic Preservation tax credits can be found in Appendix 7.

    The Logistics and Distribution Loan Program was established by the legislature in 2008 to support the development of major transportation, logistics and infrastructure projects. Outreach was conducted throughout the state.

    One final loan through this program was awarded in 2015. The Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority will receive $3 million for the Cleveland Port Cranes project. The project is part of a total investment of $7.9 million and is located in an economically distressed area.

    This completes the award phase of the program. Monitoring of the projects will continue until loan repayment is completed. Detailed information about loans issued in previous years of the program can be found at http://development.ohio.gov/reports/default.htm.

    TourismOhio

    Tourism is an economic driver and can be an essential part of a communitys economic development plan. TourismOhio tells the story of what makes Ohio memorable. 2014 was a record-setting year with many firsts that helped tourism in Ohio reach new heights. Collaboration was a major focus of TourismOhio as it hosted the first-ever Symposium on the Future of Tourism in Ohio, bringing together the TourismOhio Team100 for a day of inspiration and input that would be the foundation for a strategic plan to grow tourism visits in Ohio. The event was led by the 11-member TourismOhio Advisory Board made up of experienced industry leaders and marketing experts.

    After the Symposium, the TourismOhio team conducted surveys, interviews and group work sessions to help develop the first-ever Ohio Tourism Strategic Plan. This is the first roadmap to drive sustainable growth for tourism in Ohio. It will carry tourism through 2018, the end of the pilot funding model, which provides up to $10 million a year to promote Ohio. The plan reflects the voice of the industry, and includes four strategic pillars: Branding and Marketing Communications, Strategic Partnerships and Collaboration, Financial Stability and Organizational Excellence. A balanced scorecard was also created to track TourismOhios progress within the four initiatives.

    The funding model provided TourismOhio the funding to double its media buy in 2014 to $4.1 million. Ohio was able to tell its story to more people, more often. The ad campaign started in April, earlier than ever, and extended for the first time through fall a significant travel time for Ohio.

    The results of the increased investment were highlighted in the 2014 economic impact research for Ohio tourism (sources: Longwoods International and Tourism Economics)

    During 2014, Ohio saw a record 200 million visits, an increase from 195 million visits in 2013 (+2.8%).

    38 million visitors stayed overnight in Ohio in 2014, up from 37 million in 2013 (+2.6%).

    On average, overnight visitors outspend day travelers by 3 to 1:

    Daytrip visitors spend an estimated $112 per person

    Overnight visitors spend an estimated $341 per person

    The increase in visitor spending generated a 4.7% increase in sales to approximately $40 billion; up from $38 billion in 2013 a new high for Ohio.

    An estimated 412,000 Ohio jobs were supported by the tourism industry, an increase of 1.8% from 405,000 in 2013.

    1 in every 11 Ohio workers is supported by the tourism industry.

    The next step is identifying a new brand for the state and aggressively promoting our states distinct, authentic identity to businesses and visitors in Ohio, across the country, and around the world. TourismOhio and the Development Services Agency are planning to launch the new brand and tourism website in late 2015.

    The Motion Picture Tax Credit was created in 2009 to encourage and develop a film industry in Ohio. The program provides a refundable, non-transferable tax credit equal to 25% of in-state spending and non-resident wages and 35% of resident wages on eligible production expenditures (EPEs) in Ohio, as defined by Ohio Revised Code section 122.85 (A)(4).

    The program may award up to $40 million in tax credits per biennium; no more than $5 million dollars per project. This is a performance-based incentive and no tax credits are awarded until the project is completed and requirements of the program are met. Project approval and issuance of a tax credit certificate may occur in different years when projects extend beyond the year in which the project received approval.

    Empowering Ohioans

    As the Ohio economy improves it is important not to forget those who have been living in the shadows who may need a hand up to reach their full potential. Partnering with local Community Action Agencies, the Development Services Agency administers the Community Services Block Grant which helps communities address poverty and provide resources for residents to move to self-sufficiency. In the 2013-2014 grant cycle, the state of Ohio received more than $49 million from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to support the program. After conducting a local needs study, local Community Action Agencies use the funding to provide job training, food banks, senior programs and youth programs. A full report on the program and services provided will be available in September.

    Through the administration of the Ohio Housing Trust Fund, a public/private partnership, the agency served 11,050 households, 35 businesses, and 945 senior citizens. In Fiscal Year 2015, $58 million was invested in programs to increase the housing stock for low- to moderate-income Ohioans and address the needs of the homeless in Ohio. A full report on the programs and services administered by the Ohio Housing Trust Fund can be found in Appendix 9.

    DSA also provides resources to help Ohioans manage home energy costs. The Home Energy Assistance Program is a benefit applied to a customers energy bill. In Fiscal Year 2015, the agency helped more than 350,000 households. The program has two emergency components, the Winter Crisis Program and the Summer Crisis Program. From November to March, the Winter Crisis Program provides support to low-income Ohioans who are facing disconnection from their heating source. In July and August, the Summer Crisis Program helps older Ohioans and those with medical conditions stay cool by providing air conditioners, fans, and/or bill payment assistance.

    Improving the efficiency of a home and its appliances can help reduce a familys overall energy costs. The Home Weatherization Assistance Program (HWAP) is designed to reduce energy costs for low-income families, particularly the elderly, people with disabilities, and people with children. The goal is to improve the energy efficiency of their homes, while ensuring their health and safety. During the 2014 Program Year (July 1, 2014 June 30, 2015), the program provided energy conservation measures and consumer education to nearly 4,000 families. In the coming year, the program will implement the new national Standard Work Specifications (SWS), which will ensure that work quality is in line with the national standards and that health and safety issues in the homes of our customers are addressed consistently across all providers. In addition to the SWS, the HWAP will implement a new Quality Control Inspector (QCI) certification requirement for home inspectors/assessors, improving the quality of service to the customer.

    In partnership with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), DSA also administers the Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus (PIPP Plus) to help Ohioans manage their monthly energy costs. The program provides eligible Ohioans the ability to pay a percentage of their energy bill based on their income. As of June 2015, 437,173 Ohio households are participating in the program.

    In Fiscal Year 2015, the agency worked with the PUCO to align the rules, making them consistent for the gas and electric components of the program. This will reduce confusion among the customers and improve the implementation of the program.
