Episode Details

Oklahoma’s LIHEAP program is failing the people it’s meant to help—only 70% of eligible households got energy aid last fiscal year, a troubling drop from past years and a sign that more families are being left in the cold—or sweltering heat. This isn’t a blip; the trend’s been falling since 2022, threatening a basic safety net for those on fixed incomes. With fewer people receiving help, more families face impossible choices: pay for heat or food. Officials are being pressed for answers, but the core problem is clear—access to affordable energy shouldn’t be a privilege, and Oklahoma’s data shows we’re heading in the wrong direction.
