Applications for LIHEAP (low income home energy assistance program) will be processed at the Energy Fair.
Federal funds are available to families that qualify. One time payments are made directly to Nicor and ComEd to provide financial support to households. The winter season is just around the corner and along with the cold comes higher energy bills. The application is fast and easy.

When applying you MUST bring: proof of gross income for the last 30 days. Original Social Security cards for all household members. Current Nicor and ComEd utility bills. INCOME GUIDE LINES – Gross Income for 30 days prior to application Date

Meet local representatives from The Link & Option Center, Nicor, and ComEd to discuss other payment options to avoid disconnection. Useful information will be provided from area Social Service Organizations.

Come find out what programs are available to help meet the needs of your family. Don’t miss Commissioner Murphy’s Energy Fair on Tuesday, December 15th from 9:30a.m. to 3p.m. The event will be held at the ELKS CLUB located at 4428 Midlothian Turnpike in Crestwood.
