Senator Simcha Felder has announced the opening of this year’s Neighborhood Heating Fund—the HeartShare program—on December 12. The program provides assistance to eligible households who need help with the cost of heating their homes. Grants of up to $200 may be available to those that have an open balance on their National Grid heating account.
“The cold weather means heating costs will be going up,” said Senator Felder. “The good news is that there are programs available to help low-income families and seniors. Last year my office saved our constituents more than $24,000 on their heating bills. I encourage eligible households to apply for HeartShare, which can be done right at my offices. HeartShare is a good resource for those on a fixed income and working families struggling to make ends meet. Just call my office for an appointment to have your application filled out.”

What about helping those that actually work & pay taxes & dont get any govt help & have a hard time paying bills??
#1: First, learn to read. The article says that the program is for people who are working and having a hard time making ends meet. Maybe you qualify, why don’t you call and find out.
Oh, and stop kvetching!
That’s Obama fault you are the rich middle class!
My crude estimates suggest that if Mr. Felder’s districrt had an average number of residents, and 10% received home heating help, and the total given to his district was $24,000, as reported above, that would amount to $1.44 person “helped”. How does that help anybody?
Perhaps YWN, or Mr. Felder, could give us more detail, instead of relying on people like me to guesstimate how much he is talking about.
