Governor Kathy Hochul emphasized that, "Programs like HEAP help put money back in the pockets of hard-working New Yorkers, helping heat their homes in the dead of winter." This statement underlines the necessity of HEAP in alleviating the financial burdens on citizens during winter months, showcasing the state's commitment to addressing heating cost challenges in response to the affordability crisis.
Barbara C. Guinn, the assistance commissioner of the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, stated, "HEAP is a vital lifeline for low-income working families and older adults on a fixed income and also provides financial support to ensure those in emergency situations can keep the heat on and keep their homes warm during the cold winter months." This highlights the program's essential role in providing support to vulnerable populations.
