ST. PAUL, Minn.–Gov. Tim Walz announced $112 million in federal funds have been awarded to the Minnesota Energy Assistance Program.
The funding will provide energy assistance to income-eligible Minnesota homeowners and renters to help keep their homes warm this winter.
Walz says higher utility bills in the winter can put a strain on budgets and this program will make a big difference in lowering costs and keeping people safe.
Last year, the energy assistance program awarded more than 129,000 households with energy assistance.
