HEAT
The Home Energy Assistance Target Program provides winter home heating assistance and year-round energy crisis intervention for eligible low-income households throughout Utah. It also provides funds to the State Weatherization Program to help weatherize homes and to provide emergency repair or replacement of defunct furnaces or air conditioning units. The HEAT motto is: "A warm temperate home is as basic to health and safety as is good nutrition and medical care. HEATing assistance is a wellness strategy."
HELP
The Home Electric Lifeline Program, in cooperation with Rocky Mountain Power, provides their HEAT-eligible customers with a monthly discount on their electric bill.
UTAP
The Utah Telephone Assistance (Lifeline) Program provides low-income households with a discount on monthly home landline phone bills.
Shut Off Protection (Moratorium)
Protects eligible households from having their heat shut-off during the winter.
The SEAL mission is to "identify and provide assistance to truly vulnerable households--the lowest-income with the highest heating costs especially targeting families with young children, the disabled, and the elderly--to provide them with reasonable warmth, health, and safety."
