Funding for low-income heating aid resumes after government shutdown delay
1.
The Trump administration has released $3.6 billion in funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) following delays attributed to the recent federal government shutdown. The program, which provides financial support to help low-income households pay heating and cooling costs, typically distributes funds to states at the beginning of November. The shutdown, which ended on November 12, 2025, postponed the release of these critical funds as winter temperatures began to affect many regions.
