flag A federal government shutdown is delaying LIHEAP funding for low-income households in Vermont and Minnesota, potentially pushing heating assistance payments until November or later. flag In Vermont, $12 to $15 million in annual aid may be delayed, risking disruptions for about 26,000 families. flag Minnesota faces a similar issue, with $125 million in expected LIHEAP funds frozen, affecting roughly 125,000 households. flag Although both states continue accepting applications and have protections against utility shutoffs, the lack of federal funds threatens timely aid. flag Officials warn the delays could worsen hardship for vulnerable residents, especially seniors and rural families, as winter approaches.
