(The Center Square) – Federal staff cuts will cripple the effectiveness of state-run utility bill assistance programs, advocates warn, and should be resolved congressionally.
The Energy Association of Pennsylvania said 435,000 residents used the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, during the 2023-24 winter season. In total, roughly 5.7 million Americans qualify for the service, which helps families cover heating and cooling bills throughout the year.
