Administration
The issues surrounding administration of LIHEAP,, a
block grant, are many and complex. Key issues are: who are the LIHEAP
administering agencies and subcontracting agencies, who administers
LIHEAP, i.e., centralized versus decentralized administration; program
variations to reduce administrative costs, and types of client outreach
activities. Another important administrative issue is what state
and local agencies are doing to document results and improve LIHEAP
program performance (i.e., performance goals and standards) in response
to the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA).
