Trump’s Executive Order Leaves Hundreds of Americans with Surprise Electric Bills
Following President Trump’s executive order pausing funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Huntsville Utilities notified some customers that a $100 grant, previously applied to their bills, was invalid. This resulted in a $100 increase on their next electricity bill. The grant, distributed through the Community Action Partnership, supplemented the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). While the main LIHEAP funding remained untouched, the supplemental funding from the IIJA was rescinded, impacting low-income families.
