Arizona State Funds
- The
Neighbors Helping Neighbors Energy Assistance Fund checkoff
became effective in 1992. Individual taxpayers can designate
a portion of their refund as a voluntary contribution to the Neighbors
Helping Neighbors Fund, which is administered by the LIHEAP grantee,
the Department of Economic Security. The fund is designed to help
qualified low-income households with one-time crisis/emergency
utility bill payments, energy conservation and home weatherization.
- Utility Repair, Replacement and Deposit (URRD) is a program established by the state legislature and funded by unclaimed utility deposits. URRD funds are used by community action agencies in coordination with LIHEAP to provide emergency assistance to low-income customers who need to make a utility deposit or have a heating- or cooling-related appliance or system repaired or replaced.
- Arizona Housing Trust Fund is generated by the State's unclaimed
property taxes. Funds are used for emergency repair or
replacement of heaters, coolers and other weatherization needs and utility payments.
- County and city funds for energy and water assistance and weatherization.
