What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

Governor Kathy Hochul announced the opening of New York’s Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) in Saratoga Springs on November 2, providing financial aid for heating bills. Separately, Hochul reported that over $216 million in summer food assistance had been distributed to more than 1.8 million low-income children across New York. The state also directed officials to increase the HEAP benefit amount for those receiving home heating fuel delivery.
