What makes the Low Income HomeEnergy Assistance Program #LIHEAP so important? LIHEAP ensures energy security, prevents utility shutoffs, and protects vulnerable households, including seniors, veterans, and families with young children.

WSCAP?is a member of the governance board for the?National Energy and Utility Affordability Coalition (https://neuac.org/), (NEUAC), which is a coalition dedicated to bridging states, utilities, and social services to protect families in utility crises. NEUAC also brings the?Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (https://lnkd.in/ggKH5UWM)?(LIHEAP) advocates together for the annual?‘LIHEAP Action Day.’ (https://lnkd.in/dESN-yWM) At this year’s LIHEAP Action Day, held on March 5th, in Washington D.C., ten stakeholders from different regions of Washington gathered together to speak with our elected officials about the vital importance and impact that LIHEAP has on constituents of our state. In all, our group was able to attend eight meetings on “the hill”, which included the offices of?Senator Patty Murray,?Rep Marilyn Strickland,?Rep Adam Smith,?Rep Emily Randall,?Rep. Michael Baumgartner,?Rep. Dan Newhouse,?Rep. Rick Larsen, and?Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. We shared real stories about the positive impacts LIHEAP has on recipients, discussed the increasingly year-long need for energy assistance as our communities face both heating and cooling challenges, and asked for support in opposing cuts to LIHEAP funding. We had a wonderful and productive time and appreciated meeting all the hard-working staffers, legislative assistants, and Representatives who took meaningful time to listen to our stories and concerns. 2025 LIHEAP Action Day attendees included: Northwest Community Action Center Jose Alvarez Community Action of Skagit County Misty Velasquez Mandi Figueroa Small Tribes Organization of Western Washington Lisa Rivera Community Action Council of Lewis, Mason and Thurston Counties Stephenie Arnold Mar Cuellar Spokane Neighborhood Action Partners (SNAP) Carol Weltz Amber Johnson Washington State Community Action Partnership Shaylee Stokes Avista Utilities Kelsey Solberg
