Summary
At the June 10 meeting the DuPage County Board approved multiple intergovernmental agreements and appropriations: the Illinois Home Weatherization Assistance Program (two awards), LIHEAP, and a Title IV-D intergovernmental agreement for the state’s attorney’s office. The motions were made by Member Garcia and recorded on roll calls.
The DuPage County Board on June 10, 2025, approved several state intergovernmental agreements and appropriations for energy- and social-services programs totaling roughly $6.6 million.
Member Garcia moved to accept and appropriate multiple grants: $974,465 for the Illinois Home Weatherization Assistance Program (program year 2026 HHS), $568,959 for the state weatherization grant (program year 2026 state grant), $3,422,000 for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for program year 2026, and $1,629,842 for a Title IV‑D intergovernmental agreement for the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Why it matters: These appropriations fund household weatherization and energy-assistance programs and provide state-supported funding for child-support enforcement activities in the State’s Attorney’s office. The LIHEAP award represents the largest single line item among the motions.
