Under the President's budget proposal for 2018, LIHEAP is slated for elimination. LIHEAP is a vital source of assistance for low-income households. Even fully funded, program resources are insufficient to meet the needs of all eligible households. The proposed cuts would only make matters worse. See how you can take action to stop the elimination of LIHEAP at https://www.liheaphelpscalifornia.org/
SHHIP has helped with the needs of over 30,000 households in Shasta & Tehama Counties. SHHIP is a 26-employee organization with a 4 million annual operating budget. In the last year we weatherized and/or repaired 1,800 homes and assisted 1,500 residents with utility payments. Our Mutual Self-Help Program has helped over 140 families build their own homes.
