LIHEAP Energy Assistance

DO YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAVE HEATING PROBLEMS?  If so, please read about the LIHEAP and emergency heating programs from the Community Action Agency of Boone & Winnebago Counties.

Community Action Agencies across the State are reporting that propane suppliers are either running short or have increased their prices dramatically.  Some agencies are reporting that their vouchers are no longer being accepted and suppliers are only delivering for cash up front.  We haven’t seen this issue yet locally that we are aware.  If you have constituents that are having this issue please let me know.

We still have LIHEAP funds available.  I’ve attached the outreach sites.  If people are disconnected, they do not need an appointment, they can walk into our office.  The list of what people need for an appointment is part of the attachment.

The Emergency Furnace program operates through March.  If you have home owner constituents with a non-working or non-heat producing furnace, they can come to our office as a walk-in or they can call 815-962-5019.

We are still accepting Weatherization applications.  Interested constituents should call 815-962-5019.
