The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity is encouraging additional income-eligible families to apply for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program to support utility bill assistance for natural gas, propane, and electricity.
All families who meet the qualifications and provide proper documentation will receive support until funding is exhausted. Families who earn up to 200% of the federal poverty level, have a household with a senior, children under 6, and/or a person with a disability, along with households that provide proper documentation of disconnection or imminent disconnection from a utility are now eligible to receive support.
Visit dceo.illinois.gov for eligibility and application information.
