LIHEAP

With many Americans still struggling financially amid the coronavirus pandemic, the recent heat is leading to high energy bills. NBC10 Responds reporter Harry Hairston tells us about the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) which is providing some much-needed relief.

When the temperatures drop, most of us head to the thermostat and crank up the heat. But that means a boost in your bill and finding the money to pay for the increase isn’t always easy. NBC10 Responds reporter Harry Hairston shows us a federal program that’s helping homeowners who struggle to keep the heat on.

Keeping the power on when it gets cold outside can be a struggle for thousands of families experiencing financial insecurity. A federal program is here to help. The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program offers up to $1,600 to help cover the cost of gas, electric and even oil.
