LIHEAP Assistance Available Early This Fall

LIHEAP assistance will be available early this fall thanks to the COVID pandemic.

 

Community Action distributes Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, funding. Executive Director Alison Rumler-Gomez indicates the CARES Act contained extra funding for the program so they are making it available to make sure all the money gets distributed.

 

 

Getting connected to the assistance available can be done online now as well. According to Rumler-Gomez, get on capcil.info and find the eligibility link and book an appointment. She lays out what things you'll need when you come for your appointment.

 

 

LIHEAP is a one-time payment towards an energy bill assistance that could span several payments. They also have a program with a stipend towards your monthly bill and there is a one-time reconnection payment as well.

 

Get more information by visiting capcil.info or contact Community Action at their Lincoln office at 217-732-2159.
