Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has laid out his plan to help keep Empire State residents warm during the winter months.
Schumer is looking to add money to the federal budget to make sure Home Energy Assistance Program funds do not run out. People can get anywhere between $350 and $675 annually depending on their income and the heat source they use. Utility companies, including National Grid, are already projecting a significant rise in home heating bills in the coming months because of high natural gas prices and increased gas delivery rates.
