Michael Jans. Executive Director of
the C AAP. mxes that these emergency
fuel monies are coming at a critical lime
due to the spend out o f monies made
available under the federally-funded
Low Inc time Energy Assistance Prog
ram icommonly called LIEAP) Jans
also noted that the federal government
recently released LIEAP monies which
had been temporarily frozen while the
Health & Human Services Department
I HHS) examined potential cutbacks in
funding due to the Gramm Rudman
Act "U nfortunately.” noted Jans,
"because lunds were temporarily held
by HHS. many low-income people
have gotten the impression that money
is no longer available Gur affiliate
agencies have reported that many
people have not shown up for appoint
ments or have gone without heal be
cause they were unaware that assistance
was available ” Jans also noted that
many low-income people do not apply
for assistance until they realize they are
unable to meet energy bills which have
accumulated over the cold monthv
" A s a result, every year we sec a large
number o f utility shut o ils which occur
starting about this time of year, thus this
money is very important to Portland's
poor "
