Thompson Announces $34,730,368.00 for Mississippi to Help Households with Home Energy Costs	2023-10-25	2023	2023-10	Democrat	House	MS	Bennie G. Thompson	T000193	benniethompson.house.gov	benniethompson	https://benniethompson.house.gov/media/press-releases	scraper	[Washington, D.C.] – Today, Representative Bennie G. Thompson (MS02) announced that Mississippi was awarded $34,730,368.00 in funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Administered through the Administration for Children and Families’ Office of Community Services at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, this funding helps low-income households pay for home heating and cooling bills, prevent energy shutoffs, restore services, make minor energy- related home repairs, and weatherize home to make them more energy efficient. Today’s funding release includes funds appropriated by Congress from the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2024, as well as $100 million appropriated for FY 2024 from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. By helping to reduce the costs of home heating and cooling bills, reconnecting energy services that have been disconnected, preventing energy shutoffs, and providing minor energy-related home repairs, LIHEAP helps make sure that our neighbors can meet their home energy needs and stay safe in their homes.	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-08T00:49:26Z
