Appropriations Committee Includes $5.1 Billion for LIHEAP

 

Last week, the Appropriations Committee passed the FY2010
Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Bill, which includes $5.1 billion
for LIHEAP, the same amount as fiscal 2009.

 

The committee keeps the same split between block grants and
contingency funding as fiscal 2009 - $4,509,672,000 in block grants,
$590,328,000 for contingency funds - and continues the formula used in
fiscal 2009.
