The purpose of the HEAT Program is to assist eligible households meet the rising costs of home energy. HEAT is not a welfare program. It is a federally funded Energy Assistance Program that is administered by the State of Utah through the Department of Community and Culture (DCC).

( Low Income Energy Assistance Programs) see website for more information. Weber, Davis and Morgan Counties in Utah will participate in a year-round demonstration HEAT Program. This is only a demonstration program, not a permanent program. This trial program is to determine its effectiveness. Persons living in these counties may apply for HEAT assistance one time during the period of: November 2, 2009 through September 30, 2010.

HEAT benefits are a ONE-TIME payment only and will not cover your entire yearly energy costs. Therefore, it is important that each household do all they can to keep utility bills current.

IMPORTANT:
It is not a requirement to be shut off or have a shut off notice to apply for benefits.
