16 Performance Goals and Measures, 2605(b)
16.1 Describe your progress toward meeting the data collection and reporting requirements of the four required LIHEAP (Benefit Targeting Index, Burden Reduction Targeting Index, Restoration of Home Energy Service, and Prevention of Loss of Home Energy Service). Include timeframes and plans for meeting these requirements and what you believe will be accomplished in the coming federal fiscal year. Massachusetts currently collects the required LIHEAP performance measures. The state of Massachusetts reviews the performance data provided by the Subgrantees and vendors which further informs program decisions and/or policies. For instance, Massachusetts reviews the energy burden before and after receiving HEAP to ensure that there is an acceptable difference in change for each of the energy types and that overall the energy burden remains below 4% after receiving HEAP benefit. If any of the above questions require further explanation or clarification that could not be made in the fields provided, attach a document with said explanation here.
