Keep the Heat On Act of 2025

The Keep the Heat On Act of 2025 ensures low-income households continue receiving home energy assistance during a federal government shutdown in fiscal year 2026. It directs the use of unused Treasury funds to maintain the same payment rates for the home energy assistance program as in fiscal year 2025, preventing service interruptions. This applies specifically to any shutdown period during the 2026 fiscal year, guaranteeing consistent support for vulnerable families. The bill addresses a funding gap without altering existing program eligibility or requirements.
