Delaware State Funds

  • Delware's governor and leaders of the General Assembly's Joint Finance Committee announced an agreement that targeted additional funding to help lower-income Delawareans afford skyrocketing energy bills for the winter of 2006. This action directed a total of $3.2 million to state programs that offer energy and home improvement assistance through programs currently operated by the Department of Health and Social Services. Of this amount, $2.5 million was directed to the Delaware Energy Assistance Program for heating bill assistance. An additional $500,000 was directed to the weatherization program and $200,000 was allocated for emergency furnace replacements.

    Delaware's governor signed SB 280, that appropriates $2 million annually for energy assistance and weatherization.
