Northwestern IL Community Action

The mission of Northwestern Illinois Community Action Agency is to diminish the causes and effects of poverty by helping people identify and obtain the resources to achieve self-sufficiency in order to build stronger families and communities. The Illinois Low Income Heating & Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides assistance with utility costs, during the time frame of October 1st - May 31st or until funds are exhausted for income eligible households. Assistance will include a one-time utility payment for heat and electric service and payments will be sent directly to the energy provider on behalf of the eligible household.
