News & Notes
This month looks at the world through the eyes of a child, so today we look at how you can recognize National Child Safety and Protection Month, and keep the children in your life safe.
READING, Pa. - United Way of Berks County President Tammy White says the situation has become “a perfect storm,” with state and federal dollars stalled at the same time that the demand for help is rising.
“We’re not having the dollars we need to help people in our community,” White said. “The needs are increasing because people don’t have the support systems they’re accustomed to.”
According to data from United Way of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations, the number of residents affected by service reductions has jumped to more than 241,000 statewide. Nearly 60% of nonprofits are expected to run out of emergency funds by the end of October.
HARRISBURG, Pa. - Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services announced that the start of the state's federally funded Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, will be delayed one month until Dec. 3, 2025, due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.
The delay stems from the state’s failure to receive its anticipated federal allocation for the 2025-26 LIHEAP season. The program was originally scheduled to begin accepting applications on Nov. 3.
LIHEAP is a federal program administered by the Department of Human Services that assists eligible Pennsylvanians with home heating bills during winter. Annually, Pennsylvania receives more than $215 million for LIHEAP; the commonwealth received $229 million in 2024 and $216 million in 2023.
State officials said Pennsylvania cannot cover these costs without the federal funds.
The program supports over 300,000 Pennsylvania families in heating their homes, assistance which is often vital for older adults and low-income households.
"The LIHEAP Program helps more than 300,000 Pennsylvania families heat their homes during the colder months," said Human Services Secretary Dr. Val Arkoosh. "I urge Congress and the White House to recognize the serious consequences that limiting heating assistance will have on the health and safety of people in Pennsylvania."
