How to apply:

Call David Woodman, EHR Coordinator, Monday through Friday,
8-9 am or 1-2 pm at (801) 355-7085. He will ask you the nature of the problem, the city you live in, the number of people in the household and the total monthly income. If eligible, David will set a time to come to your home to see the problem and take an application. At that time he will need to see verification of income and home ownership. After the work is done you must call David to schedule an inspection.
