Recognizing February 2, 2026, as Energy Assistance Day in the State of New York

This ceremonial resolution designates February 2, 2026, as Energy Assistance Day in New York, aligning with National Energy Assistance Day. It aims to raise awareness about existing state and federal energy assistance programs - particularly New York's HEAP program - which help vulnerable households (including seniors, families with children, and individuals with disabilities) manage heating costs. The resolution does not create new policies or change program eligibility; it solely recognizes the importance of current support that assists over 1.8 million New Yorkers annually.
