ComEd joined community leaders and stakeholders at the Community and Economic Development Association (CEDA) of Cook County, Inc. to call attention to the launch of the new application period for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). The announcement was hosted at the North Lawndale Employment Network (NLEN), a cornerstone of the North Lawndale community, widely recognized for its leadership in workforce development and its role in connecting families to essential programs such as LIHEAP.

Beginning Nov. 1, all income-eligible households can apply. Other eligibility details, including an online Request for Services form, are available at helpillinoisfamilies.com…
