Earlier this week, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro announced his administration, in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, secured a commitment from utility companies that they would not shut off heat or electricity in November for homes that are eligible for LIHEAP amid the federal government shutdown.

"My Administration is once again stepping up to protect Pennsylvanians from the federal government's inaction," said Governor Shapiro. "Last week, I signed a disaster declaration so that Pennsylvanians don't suffer because Congress can't do its job. My Administration reached out to Pennsylvania's utility companies and got them to agree to keep the power on for our neighbors so that people are not stranded in the cold as winter comes."
