The Home Energy Assistance Target (H.E.A.T.) program is the State of Utah’s program through which funds are distributed to the target population. This program is specifically administered by the state and various Associations of Governments (AOG). The Mountain land AOG provides H.E.A.T. assistance to persons in Utah, Wastach, and Summit Counties. MAG receives nearly $2.5 Million annually.

Recipients

Coordination with outside programs

In addition to providing matching funds through the Leveraging Incentive Program, LIHEAP strives to coordinate efforts with private utility companies and non-profits where federal funding is not available. In the State of Utah, some of these other sources include Rocky Mountain Power’s Home Electric Lifeline and Lend-a-Hand Programs, Questar’s Energy Assistance Fund and REACH program, Catholic Community Services, American Red Cross, and Murray City Relief Program. H.E.A.T. funding applicants may be referred to these or other private assistance groups if there are not sufficient LIHEAP funds.
