Fulton County Health Department Weatherization Services

How it works

The Fulton County Health Department administers energy assistance and weatherization services for Fulton County residents. The page says weatherization services are free for households that meet the program’s eligibility rules.

What the money covers

The official page does not list a detailed work scope for weatherization, but it identifies the service as “weatherization” and ties it to households that qualify through LIHEAP or certain public assistance categories.

Eligibility-linked benefits

The page also notes that income-eligible LIHEAP customers of Ameren Illinois, ComEd, Nicor Gas, North Shore Gas, and Peoples Gas receive a monthly discount through Low Income Discount Rates, but that discount is a utility bill benefit rather than a home hardening measure.

Timing and deadlines

The page states the 2027 program begins October 1, 2026. Applications start October 1, 2026 for older adults age 60+, people with a disability, families with children age 5 and under, and households that are disconnected, have a disconnection notice, or have less than 25% propane remaining. All other income-eligible households can start applying November 1, 2026. Applications are first-come, first-served through August 13, 2027, or until funding is exhausted. Households that receive a one-time benefit may return during the program year for Reconnection Assistance or Furnace Assistance if needed.
