More Funding for Energy Assistance Program
November 3, 2022An additional $1 Billion boost in federal funding for the Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) was recently approved by Congress, allowing more households to receive assistance with heating bills this winter.
This is great news for Connecticut's low income and working families who rely on the LIHEAP program to help pay for home heating costs.
Today more than ever, this program provides crucial support to vulnerable homeowners and renters with the costs of heating their homes. With heating costs expected to rise this winter, this boost in federal support will help ensure more families can stay warm.
The application period for the 2022-2023 winter season of the Connecticut Energy Assistance Program is NOW open and we encourage you to apply today.
