Just saw this post in news for anyone who quslifies...

If you're over 60 or disabled, applications for the low-income home energy assistance program, or LIHEAP are open starting Thursday; for all others in need of heating assistance, the application opens Nov. 1. You have to live at or below 200% of the poverty line, have an energy burden, and—yes, this is really a requirement—"verify citizenship status for all household members." (Remember Jesus said, "Let those who are undocumented freeze to death.") If you're looking for help, or want to help, Iowa Community Action has resources here.
