HHS Releases $100 Million in LIHEAP Funding to Assist Families with Home Energy Bills.
announced the release of $100 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help families pay their outstanding heating and cooling bills. This funding comes on top of investment in the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program through the American Rescue Plan and the Continuing Resolution most recently passed by Congress.
The $100 million is the first installment of the five-year, $500 million investment in the program provided from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. With historic investments from the American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,and Continuing Resolution, the Biden-Harris Administration has spearheaded the largest distribution of funds over a 12-month period since LIHEAP was established in 1981.
“Millions of working families are experiencing unusually high heating and cooling costs, and it is important that we provide them with the support they need,”. “I will continue to work with President Biden to protect the health and well-being of all families in need and help lower their energy bills.”
ACF’s Acting Assistant Secretary JooYeun Chang noted, “The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is a landmark piece of legislation that provides support at a time when LIHEAP will be an important part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to lower costs for working families.”
