Question Title

* 1. Funding for LIHEAP has declined 32 percent in recent years from $5.1 billion in FY2010 to $3.47 billion last year at the same time that the number of households eligible has exceeded those receiving assistance. Additionally, the impact of sequestration cut the LIHEAP program by roughly 5%, or $175 million of the $3.47 billion that was appropriated in the FY2013 funding.

As a result, we are collecting stories and information from LIHEAP supporters in an effort to help Congress and the Administration understand the impact that the cuts are having across the country.

For your survey response to be useful, we need at least your name, city and zip code. If you would like to provide us more contact information, we can add you to our database so you can receive updates about the LIHEAP program.
