Today we celebrate 40 years of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Signed into law on August 13, 1981 as the Low-income Home Energy Assistance Act, LIHEAP now helps nearly 6 million families pay their energy bills every year.
Fans of the program are celebrating all day today with the hashtag #LIHEAP40. Add your voice to the celebration by sharing your LIHEAP story on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.
All week, the Administration for Children and Families has been posting in celebration of #LIHEAP40.
