Program That Helps New Yorkers Pay Winter Heating Bills Delayed by Federal Shutdown, Gov. Says

Nearly 1 million New York City households relied on the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (known as LIHEAP, or HEAP) last winter to help afford their energy costs, more than any other region in the state. Applications for this season were supposed to open Nov. 3, but are being delayed for at least a few weeks-or until the federal government reopens and reallocates funding, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Wednesday.
