LIHEAP

Maine has received over double it's resources for heat but very few Mainers are able to receive that help and here's why.

We spoke with Dan Brennan from the Maine State Housing Authority about the new $3 million in funding they have received through federal stimulus money due to COVID-19.

Last year was a mild winter, this winter has been colder and has seen much more snow. That means we are spending more to keep the house warm. Families in Maine that rely on heating assistance are receiving less assistance than last year, due in part to, the mild winter we had last year.  That is causing a problem.
