Siouxlanders can still apply for low-income home energy assistance
The agency has been working since Nov. 1 to take applications to help people secure help from the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). The program ends on April 30.
Officials say the agency is all caught up on processing applications. They're also encouraging those who can apply to do so as soon as possible.
The nonprofit says they have received many questions about federal funding and if they had any cuts.
Efforts to restore power to Siouxland enter third day
'The energy assistance program, or LIHEAP, has not been affected, and we are currently under a continuing resolution for another six months,' Community Action Agency of Siouxland executive director Jean Logan said. 'So all of our federal funding streams are funded at the same level that they have been.'
So far, more than 2,100 households have been offered assistance from LIHEAP.
