• New Hampshire residents are receiving an additional $7.65 million in Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) money to reduce home heating costs. The decision comes after the Biden administration added one billion to the LIHEAP. LIHEAP is a federal program that provides payment and energy crisis assistance to low-income residents to pay for gas, electric, heating oil, and other home heating sources. Eligibility for LIHEAP is based on income, family size, and availability of resources. For more information, visit capnh.org. (Manchester Ink Link)
