LIHEAP for gas account bills

I applied thru LIheap yesterday at the Romanian Community Center on Irving Park Rd in Chicago Illinois yesterday. My gas is turned off, I am unemployed, and brought in my electric bill, gas bill, letter of income assistance, and social security card. I have never applied for help ever in my life, and the assistant director put everything into her computer.
I was late to an appointment so after she gave me copy of printout I left in a hurry. After reading the information I saw that she had my Date of birth incorrect, my rent amount was $550, she put $950, and she put that my gas was connected, and my gas is disconnected. I feel she tried to sabotage my getting the help I need by entering wrong information! They were closed when I went back to the center yesterday evening.
Because of this wrong info, especially date of birth, and income/ rent amount, not sure if they will help me with my gas bill. Please email other programs to me. I have all info and documents necessary for help, and have never applied for help in my life.

I just received this information from my son school about this LIHEAP program for gas. My son and I have been homeless for over a year now. We're having a hard time because my job is not paying enough and my light and gas bill from my previous place is in collection and I'm paying the best way I can. I was checking to see if these programs help with utilities and my gas bills that are in collection that is preventing me from getting a place for my son and me to live.
