Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), established in 1981 as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (P.L. 97-35), is a program through which the federal government makes annual grants to states, tribes, and territories to operate home energy assistance programs for low-income households. The LIHEAP statute authorizes two types of funds: regular funds (sometimes referred to as formula or block grant funds), which are allocated to all states using a statutory formula, and emergency contingency funds, which are allocated to one or more states at the discretion of the Administration in cases of emergency as defined by the LIHEAP statute. States may use LIHEAP funds to help low-income households pay for heating and cooling costs, for crisis assistance, weatherization assistance, and services (such as counseling) to reduce the need for energy assistance. The LIHEAP statute establishes federal eligibility for households with incomes at or below 150% of poverty or 60% of state median income, whichever is higher, although states may set lower limits. The largest share of LIHEAP funding goes to pay for heating assistance. In FY2014, the most recent year for which data are available, approximately 49% of funds went to pay for heating assistance, 7% was used for cooling aid, 21% went to crisis assistance, and 9% was used for weatherization. Funds are also used for administration (9% in FY2014) and up to 10% of a state's allotment can be carried over for use in the next fiscal year (4% in FY2014). In FY2014, approximately 6.3 million households received heating and/or winter crisis assistance, and 800,000 received cooling and/or summer crisis assistance. As of the date of this report, FY2017 appropriations for LIHEAP were funded through a continuing resolution (P.L. 114-254) at the FY2016 level of $3.39 billion less an across-the-board rescission of 0.1901% through April 28, 2017 (or enactment of full-year appropriations). For FY2017 funds distributed to states, tribes, and territories, see Table B-1. Prior to enactment of the FY2017 continuing resolution, the Senate Appropriations Committee-passed bill (S. 3040) proposed the same funding for LIHEAP as in FY2016-$3.39 billion for regular funds, with $491 million distributed using the new LIHEAP formula. The House Appropriations Committee-passed bill (H.R. 5926) would have appropriated $100 million more for LIHEAP than in FY2016 and the Senate Committee bill, a total of $3.49 billion for regular funds. Under H.R. 5926, $591 million would have been distributed using the new LIHEAP formula. The President's FY2017 budget proposed that LIHEAP receive $3 billion in discretionary appropriations, all allocated as regular funds. The budget also included a proposal made in previous years, that emergency contingency funds be mandatory, with their availability triggered by increases in energy prices, extreme temperatures, or increased poverty as measured by participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The budget estimated that $769 million in emergency contingency funds would be made available under this formulation in FY2017.

Book excerpt: The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), established in 1981 as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (P.L. 97-35), is a program through which the federal government makes annual grants to states, tribes, and territories to operate home energy assistance programs for low-income households. The LIHEAP statute authorizes two types of funds: regular funds (sometimes referred to as formula or block grant funds), which are allocated to all states using a statutory formula, and emergency contingency funds, which are allocated to one or more states at the discretion of the Administration in cases of emergency as defined by the LIHEAP statute. States may use LIHEAP funds to help low-income households pay for heating and cooling costs, for crisis assistance, weatherization assistance, and services (such as counseling) to reduce the need for energy assistance. The LIHEAP statute establishes federal eligibility for households with incomes at or below 150% of poverty or 60% of state median income, whichever is higher, although states may set lower limits. Available federal information regarding use of LIHEAP funds and households assisted is dated. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) releases annual LIHEAP Reports to Congress, but the most recent report available is from FY2009. In its FY2015 budget justifications, HHS reported limited preliminary LIHEAP data for FY2011. Of funds expended for heating, cooling, crisis assistance, and weatherization, 60% of funds went to pay for heating assistance, 6% was used for cooling aid, 24% went to crisis assistance, and 10% was used for weatherization. (Note that these percentages do not account for administrative expenses or services to reduce the need for energy assistance.) Also in FY2011, an estimated 6.8 million households received an average of $370 in heating assistance for the year. For FY2015, Congress appropriated $3.39 billion for LIHEAP as part of the FY2015 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act (P.L. 113-235). This is the same as the amount distributed to LIHEAP grantees in the previous year pursuant to the FY2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 113-76), though not the same amount appropriated in FY2014. In that year, Congress provided approximately $3.425 billion for LIHEAP, but $34 million was transferred elsewhere within HHS and not distributed to grantees. The $3.39 billion is the same amount proposed for FY2015 by the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and exceeds the amount proposed by the President by $1 billion. P.L. 113-235 provides that the total for LIHEAP in FY2015 be distributed as regular funds. Of that amount, $491 million is distributed according to the “new” LIHEAP formula and the remainder ($2.9 billion) according to the proportions of the “old” LIHEAP formula. (See Table B-1 for amounts available to states, tribes, and territories pursuant to the FY2015 appropriations act.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides funds to states so that they may help low-income households pay home energy expenses. States may use LIHEAP funds to assist families with heating and cooling costs, provide crisis assistance, and pay for weatherization projects. The LIHEAP statute provides for two types of funding: regular block grant funds and emergency contingency grants. All regular funds that Congress appropriates are allocated to the states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories and commonwealths, and Indian tribal organizations, whereas contingency funds may be released to one or more states at the discretion of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) based on emergency need. Regular LIHEAP funds are allocated to the states according to a formula that has a long and complicated history. In 1980, Congress created the predecessor program to LIHEAP, the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP), P.L. 96223. Because Congress was particularly concerned with the high costs of heating (as opposed to cooling), funds under LIEAP were distributed according to a multi-step formula that benefitted cold-weather states. Later in 1980, Congress further amended the LIEAP formula in a continuing resolution, P.L. 96-369, but did nothing to change the emphasis on heating expenditures in cold-weather states. Congress enacted LIHEAP in 1981 (P.L. 97-35), replacing LIEAP, and specified that states would continue to receive the same percentage of regular funds that they did under the LIEAP formula. When Congress reauthorized LIHEAP in 1984 (P.L. 98-558), it changed the program's formula by requiring the use of more recent population and energy data and requiring that HHS consider all energy costs of low-income households alone (a change from the focus on heating needs of all households). The effect of these changes meant that funds would be shifted from cold-weather northeastern and midwestern states to southern and western states. To prevent a dramatic shift of funds, Congress added two "hold-harmless" provisions to the formula. The result of these provisions is a current law, three-tiered formula, the application of which depends on the amount of regular funds that Congress appropriates. The Tier I formula is used to allocate funds when the total LIHEAP regular fund appropriation is less than or equal to the equivalent of an FY1984 appropriation of $1.975 billion. Above an appropriation of $1.975 billion, funds are allocated according to Tier II of the formula, which includes a hold-harmless level to prevent some states from losing LIHEAP funds. Finally, Tier III applies to appropriations at or above $2.25 billion, and includes a second hold-harmless provision, the holdharmless rate. Because total LIHEAP regular appropriations have not exceeded the equivalent of an FY1984 appropriation of $1.975 billion since FY1986, states continue to receive the same percentage of LIHEAP funds that they did under the old LIEAP formula (effectively Tier I of the current formula). This report will be updated as legislative or program activities warrant.
