Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand discussed the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) in New York Tuesday.
In September, Gillibrand called for additional emergency supplemental funding for LIHEAP to offset the rise in energy costs due, in part, to OPEC’s recent decision to cut daily production. She says in total, LIHEAP is getting an additional one billion dollars, with $60 million of that money coming to New York.
