Heating and Cooling Relief Act

Bill 119 HR 2486, also known as the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Act Amendment, aims to enhance the support provided to low-income households for heating and cooling expenses. The bill seeks to address the growing need for assistance in meeting energy costs, particularly during extreme weather conditions.

The proposed amendment includes provisions to increase the availability of heating and cooling assistance to eligible households. This would help ensure that vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, disabled, and families with young children, have access to essential heating and cooling services.

Additionally, the bill aims to streamline the application process for energy assistance programs, making it easier for eligible households to receive the support they need. This would help reduce barriers to accessing assistance and ensure that those in need can receive timely help. Overall, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Act Amendment is designed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of energy assistance programs, ultimately helping low-income households stay safe and comfortable in their homes.
