MAAC's Energy Assistance Program in Chula Vista administers the federally funded Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program for San Diego County residents facing utility disconnection or past-due SDG&E balances. In-person intake clinics run from the MAAC Community Room at 1387 Third Avenue, processing LIHEAP applications in coordination with housing-stability referrals from the Chula Vista Housing Division. Maximum per-household allocations reach $1,500, with funds disbursed directly to SDG&E within 10 to 12 weeks of approval. The program also connects participants to workforce resources — the employment-services arm at Express Employment Professionals processes job placements for residents facing the same economic pressures that drive energy-cost burdens. Weatherization crews install carbon-monoxide alarms, water-heater replacements, cooking-appliance repairs, attic insulation, caulking, weather-stripping, and door replacements in qualifying residences across San Diego County.
