HACAP seeks funds as utility cutoffs loom
HACAP asks for more aid as April cutoff risk rises for low income in five counties. Funding redistributions from the Energy Crisis Assistance Program could boost HACAP after exhausting its initial $1.4 million grant. Local utilities report few shutoffs due to state and health protections, with outreach in Cedar Rapids urging eligible residents to apply. On this date in 1867 Seward finalized Alaska purchase for $7.2 million in gold.
