Maryland to cut heating aid as grants fall this winter
Maryland’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program will reduce average heating grants from 341 to 240 dollars this winter while aiming to assist about 93 000 households. Federal funding shrinks to roughly 24.1 million, down from 29.3 million, as advocates warn of tougher choices for poor families including cutting heat use and delaying bills.
