The Home Energy Assistance Target (HEAT) program helps eligible households with the cost of home energy. HEAT is not a welfare program. It is a federally funded energy assistance program, also known as LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program). Futures Through Training serves Weber, Davis and Morgan counties, including Weber County. Households may apply one time each program year, which runs from October through September. The benefit is a one-time payment and will not cover all of your yearly energy costs, so keep paying your bills. You do not need a shut-off notice to apply. To apply, call 801-394-9774 to ask for a mail-in application, print the state application, or apply online at jobs.utah.gov/mycase. If you are medically confined to your home, you can ask for an outreach worker to come to you.

Estimated bill savings: $250–$800 a year

McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden is part of Intermountain Health, which gives financial assistance to eligible patients who need medical care. Help is based on family size and gross yearly household income, for incomes within 500% of the current Federal Poverty Guidelines. People with higher incomes can be reviewed for medical hardship. Eligible patients are not charged more for emergency or other needed care than the amounts generally billed to insured people, and no one who needs emergency care is turned away for not being able to pay. Download the application and email, fax, mail or bring it with your documents to an Eligibility Counselor at an Intermountain facility, or mail it to Financial Assistance, PO BOX 27327, Salt Lake City, Utah 84127. You can also apply in person at your local hospital. For questions, call a financial counselor at 866-415-6556.
