OUR APPLICATION COUNT TOTAL ENDED WITH 4411 APPLICATIONS FOR FY25 VS. 4328 FY24, WHICH IS AN INCREASE OF 83 APPLICATIONS. THE STATE OF ILLINOIS WILL HAVE NO SUMMER COOLING PROGRAM THIS YEAR.

WE ALSO HAVE TUESDAY'S AS "WALK-IN" DAY FOR LIHEAP APPOINTMENTS AT 3 OF OUR OUTREACH OFFICES IN JACKSON PERRY, AND RANDOLPH COUNTIES. WE ALSO HAD THE APPLICATION AVAILABLE ON THE AGENCY'S WEBSITE. FURNACE: THE FY25 FURNACE VOUCHER PROGRAM WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL. THE TOTAL CLIENT BENEFITS FROM THE FURNACE VOUCHER PROGRAM WERE $182,020. WE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL $23,000 TO THE FURNACE FUNDING FORM LIHEAP FUNDS TO HELP WITH 5 ADDITIONAL FURNACES FOR CUSTOMERS. PIPP: THE YEAR ENDED WITH 404 ACTIVE PIPP CLIENTS. NO NEW PIPP APPLICATIONS WERE TAKEN IN FY25, PER THE STATE.

ONE IS CALLED THE MARKET DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE {MDI}. WE ENGAGE OUR CUSTOMERS WITH RESOURCES AMEREN HAS AND SIGN THEM UP TO RECEIVE FREE ENERGY KITS. FROM THIS MDI PROGRAM, WE HAVE MADE $7,690 JUST FOR ENGAGING WITH CUSTOMERS ABOUT AMEREN'S PROGRAMS AND GOING TO OUTREACH EVENTS. OUTREACH WORKERS HAVE GONE TO SEVERAL OUTREACH EVENTS WE WERE INVITED TO. THEY TALK WITH CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE LIHEAP PROGRAM AND OTHER PROGRAMS THE AGENCY OFFERS. THE OTHER PROGRAM WE JUST STARTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO IS CALLED THE MOBILE HOME INITIATIVE {MHI}. THIS PROGRAM IS FOR MOBILE HOME OWNERS OR RENTERS. THE CUSTOMER FILLS OUT AN APPLICATION AND WE RECEIVE $200 FOR EVERY APPLICATION WE TURN IN. THIS PROGRAM IS SIMILAR TO WEATHERIZATION IN MAKING THE HOME MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT. WE HAVE RECEIVED $400 SO FAR WITH THIS PROGRAM.

• DURING PROGRAM YEAR 2025, WEEOC'S WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM HAS FINALIZED 15 HOMES WITH 4 MORE HOMES COMPLETED BUT NOT YET FINALIZED. THE PROGRAM HAS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30TH TO FINALIZE THOSE HOMES. THE FOLLOWING STATISTICS INCLUDE ALL NINETEEN HOMES. WHEN COMBINING DOE, DOE/READY AND DOE/BIL FUNDING, WE HAVE SPENT $115,473 EXHAUSTING 28.3% OF THE FEDERAL DOE FUNDING RECEIVED. THE PROGRAM HAS SPENT $141,050 OF HHS FUNDING (54.3%) AND $71,056 (58.1%) OF STATE FUNDING. WORKING WITH THE STATE'S NEW IWX PROGRAM, PROGRAMMING FOR A COMPLETE CYCLE WAS NOT IN PLACE UNTIL LATE NOVEMBER 2024 (WITH MANY HELP DESK TICKETS CREATED). WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GIVE WORK ORDERS TO CONTRACTORS UNTIL DECEMBER 2024. THE FUNDING DOLLARS ARE ACTUALLY REPRESENTING ONLY 6 MONTHS OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2025. THERE WILL BE $118,809 HHS FUNDING LEFTOVER FOR CARRYOVER AND $51,318 STATE FUNDING LEFTOVER FOR CARRYOVER.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
