Friend ­­––

Winter in Michigan means many things for many people. For some folks it means ice fishing, outdoor hockey, and shoveling your driveway at five in the morning. But for far too many of our neighbors winter brings one constant burden — a heating bill that they can’t afford.

No one should have to choose between keeping their family warm or fed, especially when it’s dangerously cold outside. That’s why I’m excited to announce that Michigan is receiving more than $161 million in federal funding to help low-income families and individuals keep the heat on in the winter through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

I worked to secure an additional $100 million for LIHEAP when we passed the bipartisan infrastructure law, and I’ll keep fighting to help ensure folks have the support they need to keep themselves, their families, and their homes safe when we experience dangerous temperatures.
