Funding for Heating Help Bolstered
February 26, 2024One of the first orders of business for the 2024 legislative session was to approve extra funding for depleted heating and fuel assistance programs that help vulnerable residents stay warm during winter.
Last week, we approved $17 million in additional funds for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Operation Fuel – two important programs that many residents and families rely on for cold weather heating assistance.
