Also attached are two additional statutory provisions that are relevant to the LIHEAP program: (1) section 927 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-550), as amended by Public Law 103-185 on December 14, 1993, which applies to treatment under the LIHEAP program of certain households that receive utility allowances under programs administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; and (2) section 308 of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Amendments of 1998 (title III of Public Law 105-285), which provides for evaluation by the U.S. Comptroller General of the LIHEAP Residential Energy Assistance Challenge (REACH) program.
LIHEAP grantees must comply with these federal laws. HHS and other federal agencies must comply with them as well.
