霍楚宣布纽约州取暖援助今冬惠及150万人 家庭能源援助计划11月2日开放申请
纽约州州长凯西·霍楚10月16日宣布，约150万纽约州居民今冬可通过家庭能源援助计划（HEAP）获得数百美元补助，帮助支付家庭取暖费用。该计划将于11月2日开放申请。
霍楚在当天的发布会上介绍了这一能源负担援助安排。州议会议员米凯尔·索拉格斯在州长声明中表示：“随着冬天临近，没有人应该在取暖和把食物摆上餐桌之间作选择……HEAP于11月2日开放。如果你符合资格，请申请，这份帮助是属于你的。”
州议会议员丽贝卡·西赖特表示，取暖援助对收入固定、冬季尤其脆弱的老年人格外重要，其社区办公室将协助居民办理申请手续。HEAP是面向低收入工薪家庭与老年居民的取暖费用援助计划。
Hochul Announces 1.5 Million New Yorkers Can Receive Help With Home Heating Costs; HEAP Opens November 2
Governor Kathy Hochul announced on October 16 that about 1.5 million New Yorkers can receive hundreds of dollars to help cover home heating costs this winter through the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP). Applications open on November 2.
'While Washington makes it harder to keep the lights on, New York is making sure families stay warm. With winter coming, no one should have to choose between heating their home and putting food on the table,' Assemblymember Michaelle C. Solages said in the governor's announcement. 'HEAP opens November 2. If you are eligible, apply. This help is yours.'
Assemblymember Rebecca A. Seawright said heating assistance is essential for older adults on fixed incomes, who can be especially vulnerable during the cold winter months, and that her community office stands ready to help residents navigate the process. HEAP provides heating-cost assistance to low-income working families and older adults. (GSM, based on the governor's release)
