Energy aid for low-income families would get more staff, especially in emergencies.
A new bill would make sure the government's energy assistance program for low-income families has enough staff. This program helps people pay for heating and cooling. The bill would set minimum staff numbers and limit how many outside contractors can be used.
Today, there are no specific minimum staff numbers or limits on contractors for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). This bill would change that by requiring at least 20 staff members for the program, limiting contractors to 40 percent of staff, and boosting staffing to 30 during emergencies while allowing more contractors then.
