Arizona Senators Kelly and Gallego address LIHEAP funding disparities affecting the state's energy assistance in response to a new report.
Quiver AI Summary
Senators Kelly and Gallego address energy assistance report: Arizona Senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego have responded to a report from Duke University highlighting that Arizona is underfunded in the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) due to an outdated federal funding formula. The report suggests that fewer than 20% of eligible households nationwide receive assistance.
Proposed legislative reforms: In light of the findings, Kelly and Gallego previously introduced the LIHEAP Parity Act of 2025 aimed at reforming the program's allocation formula. They emphasize that the existing provisions unfairly favor colder states, leaving those in hotter climates like Arizona inadequately supported, especially during extreme heat events.
Statements from the Senators: "Arizona families are living through longer, hotter summers... This report makes it clear that reform is overdue," said Kelly. Gallego added, "In Arizona, access to affordable cooling is a matter of life and death," highlighting the urgency of the proposed adjustments to federal energy assistance. The complete report and legislative text are available for further review.
