N.D. in line for heating aid
North Dakota is in line for $38.2 million to help needy people with their heating bills this winter.
BISMARCK (AP) — North Dakota is in line for $38.2 million to help needy people with their heating bills this winter.
The total is part of a $5 billion fuel assistance package released to the states by the Bush administration this week.
Last year, the state’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program got $20.5 million, and helped about 15,000 households.
The federal Health and Human Services Department says states will get their heating aid grants by the end of the month.
