Hhs Releases $151.26 Million In Low Income Energy Assistance Funds
The release of an additional $151.26 million in Low Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) funding has been announced by the Department of Health and Human services (HHS). The money brings to $1.76 billion the total amount granted to states so far during fiscal year 2003 to support assistance to low-income persons for home energy costs.
As of the distribution, 33 states will have received 90 percent or more of their fiscal year 2003 LIHEAP funding.
“The cold weather and high energy prices make LIHEAP funding especially important this year,” said Wade Horn, HHS assistant secretary for children and families. “We want states to have the resources to provide assistance to their low-income families immediately.”
LIHEAP helps more than 4 million low-income households each year deal with energy costs related to extreme cold and heat. States determine which low-income families receive LIHEAP support. Many of the families who benefit from the program include small children, senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
