JEAN4 OC…..HOW IT WORKS. :21
FOR THE COMING YEAR, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RELEASED NINETY PERCENT OF THE 2026 FUNDING ON NOVEMBER 28, BRINGING MUCH-NEEDED RELIEF TO IOWA HOUSEHOLDS.
THE STATE OF IOWA’S LIHEAP TEAM IS CURRENTLY PREPARING CONTRACT AMENDMENTS SO FUNDS CAN BE
DISTRIBUTED TO COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCIES WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK:
