MAY 2010 UPDATE:
The City recently launched its Energy Action Network (EAN), a collaborative initiative that brings together government agencies, community organizations, utility companies and not-for-profit groups who are committed to creating communities of energy efficient homes throughout Chicago.
EAN consists of 21 existing faith-based, housing and community-based organizations from across the City that have expanded their support to thousands of Chicago families, offering a full suite of services at each location - essentially creating a one-stop-shop for residents in need.
At these sites, Chicagoans are able to apply for a range of financial services for assistance with paying their home heating, cooling and gas bills to prevent their utilities from being disconnected. They are also offered assistance with weatherizing their home to make energy usage more affordable. Those in need receive information and assistance to help them get through the winter safely.
