Federal Funding For Heating Costs The Administration for Children and Families has released $148,384,722 to help low-income families in Illinois stay warm during winter months, cool during summer months and make cost-effective home energy repairs. The Low Income Home Energ y Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which is run by the Office of Community Services at HHS’ Administration for Children and Families, provides funding to states, the District of Columbia, territories and tribes to assist households with paying energy bills and weatherize homes for energy improvements. “Unsafe indoor temperatures are unacceptable conditions for anyone to live in, especially for seniors and families with young children,” said Jeannie Chaffin, director of the Office of Community Services at HHS’ Administration for Children and Families. “With these LIHEAP funds helping households in Illinois with limited incomes pay their home heating and cooling bills, these families and individuals can use their income to pay for other critical necessities such as food and medicine.” LIHEAP funding assists households with meeting home energy needs, including vulnerable households with very young children, individuals with disabilities and older individuals. Individuals interested in applying for energy assistance should contact their local, state, territory or tribal LIHEAP agency or call 866-674-6327.
