🏡 Illinois Homeowners & Residents: Utility Assistance Applications Open Soon
If you or someone you know may need help with home energy costs, Illinois’ Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) will begin accepting applications for the 2026–2027 program year.
📅 October 1: Priority households can begin applying, including qualifying seniors, individuals with disabilities, households with young children, and households facing utility disconnection.
📅 November 1: Applications open to all other income-eligible households.
LIHEAP can help eligible households with home energy costs. Funding is limited, so if you think you may qualify, take time to review the requirements and application information.
