The City of Rockford Health & Human Services team continues to see extremely high demand for LIHEAP assistance. In the first month alone, staff processed more than 2,200 applications and received over 15,000 calls—more than double September’s volume.
To ensure we can assist as many households as possible and continue processing existing applications, each outreach event will 50 appointment slots. Once those slots are filled, sign-ups will close for the day. Applicants must have all required documents to secure an appointment.
We appreciate your patience and kindness toward staff and fellow residents. Aggressive or disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.
LIHEAP is a program of the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity, funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and administered locally by the City of Rockford Health & Human Services Department.
