Each year, Northeast Midwest Congressional Coalition members lead the effort to increase funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) that helps low-income households afford heating and cooling.  The persistent urging by the Northeast-Midwest Senate and Congressional Coalitions resulted in increased funding in the amount of $5.1 billion for LIHEAP in Fiscal Year 2009.  The coalitions were instrumental in adding an additional $250 million in Fiscal Year 2009 funds for the Weatherization Assistance Program.
