I will continue to fight to protect and strengthen this program, including rehiring of dedicated staff.” LIHEAP assists low-income individuals and families with the costs of heating and cooling their homes and helps to mitigate the impacts of rising energy costs and extreme weather events. Across the nation, LIHEAP helps nearly 6 million households afford their energy bills. In Fiscal Year 2023, over 29,000 New Hampshire households benefited from an average savings of $1,579. Fuel and electric assistance programs funded by LIHEAP are available through New Hampshire Community Action Agencies to help Granite Staters afford to heat and cool their homes. Granite Staters can apply through their CAP agency. Background: Last week, Pappas and Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17) led a bipartisan group of 42 of their colleagues in pressing the Department of Health and Human Services to take all necessary steps to ensure that the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funds were distributed to the states by November 30, 2025. States typically receive their LIHEAP allocations in early November following the beginning of the fiscal year in October. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
