DHHS offers cooling assistance, fans through LIHEAP
Summertime means vacations, swimming pools, barbeques and lots of other outdoor fun. Unfortunately, extra sunshine also means extra heat. And that extra heat can cause serious health concerns. According to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, every summer, hundreds of Nebraska’s elderly and disabled succumb to heat-related emergencies. DHHS is helping by providing fans and electric bill-payment assistance. Britton Gabel, Low Income Home energy Assistance Pro
