Programs can change depending on community need, available funds and may be seasonal.
Serving Boone and Winnebago Counties, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides energy assistance to eligible residents. Typical LIHEAP benefits are paid directly to a utility on behalf of household. There are many sites that serve LIHEAP clients; these program details are usually rolled out in late summer.
Serving Winnebago and Boone Counties, the Weatherization Program provides income eligible households free energy audits and upgrades to increase the energy efficiency of their homes while reducing energy costs.
