Over the weekend the House passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The bill includes $4.5 billion for LIHEAP (page 205), $500 million for water assistance (page 206), and $19 billion for the rental and utility assistance program (page 220). The bill will now go to the Senate for a vote. Experts expect the bill to be finalized before March 14th, when pandemic-related unemployment benefits are set to expire.
