Today, HHS, thru ACFHHS LIHEAP program, announced $4.5 billion to help lower heating costs for American families as part of a larger effort to support people who are struggling to pay bills and stay healthy this winter.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services , through the Administration for Children and Families , announced $4.5 billion in assistance today to help lower heating costs for American families this winter. Today’s announcement is part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s work to lower costs and give working and middle-class American families more breathing room.
The funds announced today are a combination of regular appropriations by Congress, $100 million from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and additional emergency funding Congress included in the September continuing resolution following the Biden-Harris Administration’s request for these funds.
This past year, LIHEAP served over 5.3 million households with heating, cooling, and weatherization services. This support was particularly important during the winter and summer months, as millions of Americans dealt with extreme weather and natural disasters.
