Thanks to an influx of COVID dollars and trying to help absorb the impacts of COVID, a local non-profit says the last few years the LIHEAP program has been able to help a lot of people.
Breann Titus is the Director of Agency Development for Community Action of Central Illinois indicates the Low Income Heat and Energy Assistance Program has been able to reach more people than before.
When the program returns, Titus is encouraging those that will be applying to think about when they want the assistance and get that appointment made early. A change back to before COVID is the return to priority periods.
As you come in to apply, especially if you need assistance with the CAPCIL, Titus hopes those applying understand how understaffed they are compared to the demand they get for this program.
October 1 is the return of the next round for LIHEAP. Visit capcil.info for more or find your local CAPCIL office for information.
