The HEAT program is now open until April 30, 2008 . 

The H.E.A.T. program is Utah's version of the federal LIHEAP program (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program). 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 truly vulnerable - the lowest-income households with the highest heating costs: the disabled, elderly, and families with preschool-age children. Utah received $14 million in federal funds for the HEAT program in fiscal year 2007.

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 Division of Housing and Community Development, Utah Department of Community and Culture..

The regular HEAT season begins in November and ends in April each year. (Except for the demostration Year-Round Program DEMONSTRATION YEAR-ROUND). To find the telephone number to HEAT office in the county where you live click on application bar on your left.
