LIEAP Program In Continuing Resolution Approved By Congress

The continuing resolution approved by Congress recently does include the Low Income Energy Assistance Program after it did not appear in the White House budget for the upcoming fiscal year.  Jim Slusher of Mid-Columbia Community Action, which administers the LIEAP program in Hood River, Wasco, and Sherman counties, says the funding is at similar levels to the current fiscal year.  Slusher noted the extremely cold winter the Gorge endured this year meant they could not provide assistance to pay heating bills to all who applied with the agency.  Community Action will hold a community barbecue and open house on Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at 312 East 4th in The Dalles to celebrate Community Action Month.
