REACH Grants Awarded for FY 2002

State, tribal and territory Residential Energy Assistance Challenge (REACH) Option Program FY 2002 grants were awarded on September 30, 2002.

The REACH Program is allocated 25% of the Leveraging funds under LIHEAP, which in FY 2002 amounted to $6,875 million. The program is designed to support a limited number of innovative pilot projects that seek to demonstrate the long term cost effectiveness of supplementing energy assistance payments with non-monetary benefits that can increase the ability of eligible households to meet energy costs and help them to achieve energy self-sufficiency.

The purposes of this program are to provide for the establishment of demonstration projects designed to determine ways to: (1) minimize health and safety risks that results from high energy burdens on low-income Americans; (2) prevent homelessness as a result of inability to pay energy bills; (3) increase efficiency of energy usage by low-income families; and (4) target energy assistance to individuals who are most in need.

State, tribal and territory REACH awards are listed below.
