Published Date: 1/29/2026
Notice
Summary
The government moved $2.29 million in energy help funds from some states and tribes to others for fiscal year 2024. This shuffle helps make sure the money gets to places that need it most for heating and cooling assistance. The change took effect as soon as it was announced, so eligible communities can expect support soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
$2.29M Reallotted to LIHEAP Areas
The Administration for Children and Families redistributed $2,293,415 of FY24 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funds to FY25 LIHEAP grant recipients. These funds were reallotted on September 19, 2025 and the notice became effective upon publication on January 29, 2026; recipients may use the money for any LIHEAP-authorized heating or cooling assistance.
Specific States Lost LIHEAP Funds
Certain state-level LIHEAP recipients had FY24 funds returned for reallotment: Alaska $253,398; District of Columbia $21,181; Idaho $611,750; and Nebraska $371,160. Households in these jurisdictions may see those returned FY24 LIHEAP dollars removed from their jurisdiction's FY25 pool.
Tribal Recipients Returned LIHEAP Funds
Multiple tribal recipients returned FY24 LIHEAP funds totaling parts of the $2,293,415 (for example, Navajo Nation $599,956; Eastern Shoshone $92,688; Conf. Tribes of Grand Ronde $34,644, and many others). These tribal communities had funds reallotted on September 19, 2025 and may have reduced local LIHEAP dollars available for household energy assistance.
