ST. PAUL, Minn. (KFGO/Learfield) – Minnesota’s Energy Assistance Program is finally distributing funds to approved households after a month-long delay caused by the federal government shutdown.
Michael Schmitz with the Department of Commerce says the state received about the same amount as last season — $112.7 million in federal funds — to help families heat their homes.
The program has already received 90,000 applications, and officials encourage eligible residents to apply.
More information is available on the Minnesota Department of Commerce website.
