As\r\nwe head into the colder months, over 48,000 West Virginians need help with\r\nheating their homes and keeping their families warm. In October, I\r\nwrote to HHS Secretary Azar urging him to release the LIHEAP funds so we\r\ncould make sure West Virginians are warm during these winter months, and I am\r\npleased they heeded the request, said Senator Manchin. Every West\r\nVirginian deserves to have a roof over their head and a warm place to sleep,\r\nand I will continue to fight for funding that helps provide our fellow West\r\nVirginians with these basic necessities. As\r\nwe transition into the colder winter months in West Virginia, assistance from\r\nLIHEAP can make all the difference for some of our families. Making certain\r\nthat this program was continued though the appropriations process was a top\r\npriority and as a result, will provide assistance directly to those who need it\r\nmost. I will continue to use my role on the Senate Appropriations Committee to\r\nadvocate for West Virginia needs and drive critical resources to our state, said\r\nSenator Capito.\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article\n\t\t    \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tPrevious Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.manchin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/manchin-capito-announce-286-million-to-heat-west-virginia-homes"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3173429761081934, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
