Lincoln,
IL – Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois (CAPCIL) is
still accepting applications to assist households with energy
assistance through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Heating assistance and reconnection assistance
applications will be accepted through June 30, 2020 or until funding
has been exhausted. Any household that has not applied for
assistance yet could apply as soon as possible. If your household
has already received a LIHEAP benefit since October 1, 2019, you
still might be eligible for additional benefit through reconnection
assistance. Households interested in applying can do so by visiting
our agency website at www.capcil.info and clicking on the Energy
Services Department tab to submit an online application, by reaching
