(Harrisburg, PA) The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, could be in danger of ending after the program has helped Pennsylvanians keep heat on during cold days. The federal budget that is proposed by the administration of President Donald Trump allocates dollars totaling zero, which would end the program effectively. The program includes millions of dollars for grants, replacing and repair of emergency furnaces and assistance in crisis each year.
