Mountainland Association Of Governments

Mountainland Association Of Governments is a U.S. local government entity serving as a council of governments for Utah, Wasatch, and Summit Counties in Utah. Registered with SAM.gov since 2006, the organization focuses on providing a wide range of community and social services through federal grant programs. Its primary areas of focus include supporting senior citizens, low-income households, and community development initiatives. As both a prime recipient and sub-recipient of federal grants, Mountainland Association Of Governments collaborates with various federal agencies and state departments to implement programs that address critical community needs in its three-county service area.

Through federal grant awards and sub-awards, Mountainland Association Of Governments administers numerous programs targeting diverse community needs. These include the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), which engages volunteers aged 55 and older in community service activities such as education, health, and disaster services. The organization manages the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and weatherization assistance programs to support low-income households. It also implements Community Development Block Grants for local infrastructure and housing improvements. For senior citizens, Mountainland oversees various programs under the Older Americans Act, including meal services, preventive health programs, and elder abuse prevention. Additionally, the organization received a $1 million grant from the Department of Transportation to develop a comprehensive safety action plan for roadways in its region. Other services include transportation assistance for seniors and people with disabilities, Medicare counseling, and fraud prevention programs. These initiatives are funded through partnerships with federal agencies such as the Corporation for National and Community Service, Department of Transportation, Department of Energy, and Department of Health and Human Services, often channeled through state agencies like the Utah Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Workforce Services.
