Quiver AI Summary

Congressman Chris Pappas of New Hampshire has introduced the "Keep the Heat On Act of 2025" aimed at protecting the 30,000 households reliant on the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) during potential government shutdowns. The legislation seeks to ensure continued funding for LIHEAP to prevent increased heating costs and challenges for families as winter approaches.

Pappas criticized the current government shutdown, attributing it to partisan politics, and emphasized the importance of bipartisan negotiations to support essential services like LIHEAP. He highlighted that many families in New Hampshire are already facing financial strain from rising energy costs.

LIHEAP is a nationwide initiative that assists nearly 6 million households with heating and cooling expenses. Recent fiscal statistics reveal that over 29,000 families in New Hampshire received an average savings of $1,579 from this program in the last fiscal year.
