The federal Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), which helps low-income New Yorkers afford heating and cooling, has been indefinitely delayed due to the ongoing government shutdown.
As a result, approximately 1.5 million households are now at risk of going without heat this winter. This delay raises serious concerns about the well-being of vulnerable populations as colder months approach.
Efforts to resolve the shutdown and resume the program are critical to ensuring that those in need can access essential heating and cooling assistance in time.
