State Energy Assistance & Lifeline

Home Energy Assistance Target (HEAT)

The HEAT Program is now closed. It will open again on November 1, 2013. 

The H.E.A.T. program is Utah's version of the federal LIHEAP program (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program LIHEAP). It is funded 100% by the Federal Government through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

HEAT provides winter utility payment assistance to low-income households, targeting those who are the most vulnerable: the disabled, elderly, and families with preschool-age children.

A family does not need to receive other public assistance to qualify for HEAT. It is a federally funded energy assistance program administered by the State Energy Assistance and Lifeline (SEAL) Office located in the Housing and Community Development Division, Utah Department of Workforce Services.
