Click below to apply online through the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) pre-application, or by calling 1-800-571-2332 or through our partner intake sites

Per DCEO regulations, applications are prioritized. Households containing elderly members (60 and over), households with a member that has a disabling condition or young children (5 years of age or below) will be given priority and weatherization services first. Non-priority, income-eligible households will be served if funding is available. Therefore, some eligible households may not receive weatherization assistance during the program year they applied in.
