Call Community Action at 217-732-2159 for information on Energy Assistance. 
Applications DO have to be completed to apply for Township Assistance.  They are available from the link below, or you can call and one will be mailed to you.  As you will read on the Contact Information page, I cannot be in the office at all times, so PLEASE CALL FIRST.  Leave a message if necessary, and someone WILL call you back.  I will return your call only once and will leave a message if you have VM set up.

You must live in Clintonia Township to receive help, and it must be verifiable that you do.  You will also have to tell me your situation, which I will determine by asking you questions pertinent to your situation.  This is a Department of Human Services program, not a non-profit program 
To schedule an appointment, please call 217-935-2506. X-102.
An interview will be conducted with the applicant.  Additional verifications will be requested, and ten days will be given to return them.  At that time, a determination of eligibility will be completed, and a letter of that determination will be mailed to you.
General Assistance will be determined first, as required by law. If your income is above that program's standards, Emergency Assistance will be determined as long as funding allows for that program.
Thirty days are allowed for the application to be completed by the Supervisor, but it is normally completed much sooner.
