Winter Gets The Cold Shoulder at Township Energy Grant Event

New Trier Township Supervisor Alan Goldberg announced that another Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) application event would take place January 22, 2020 from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. “Winters in this area are unforgiving, and many income challenged residents have difficulty keeping up with utility bills. The LIHEAP program offers financial relief to income qualified individuals and families.”

This year marks the fifth consecutive winter that the North Shore Senior Center will assign trained LIHEAP counselors at the satellite township location as a convenience to area residents with limited mobility and transportation options. The counselors evaluate utility bills and income criteria, helping the person apply for funds paid to utility companies on their behalf.

Residents wishing to apply must phone the Senior Center at (847) 784-6040 to secure an appointment. The following documentation is required at the LIHEAP appointment:

• Social Security cards for all members of the household
• Utility bills issued within the last 30 days
• Proof of current 30-day gross income for all household members
