Community Heating Resource Program

NTEC provides free coal to Navajo Nation residents to "Keep the Hogan Warm."

CHRP provides free coal from the Navajo Mine to all Navajo chapters, Hopi villages & their members.

The Community Heating Resource Program (CHRP) has been open to the entire Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe since 2017 and to date, thousands of Navajo people and several Hopi villages have benefited from the program. Navajo Mine takes great pride in this long-standing tradition.

While Navajo Mine has been providing coal to chapters local to the mine, in 2016 NTEC started working to expand the program to include more Navajo chapters. In 2017 when Kayenta Mine closed in Arizona, NTEC opened CHRP to all Navajo Nation chapters and Hopi villages.

Chapter members can receive a ticket from their local chapter where the person or family can come to Navajo Mine to have coal loaded into their vehicle or trailer. Or, it can be delivered to chapters and villages to reach people who live far away from Navajo Mine.

For the past few years, Navajo Mine has delivered and loaded more than 10,000 tons of coal each year and has served thousands of families. Our goal is to Keep the Hogan Warm.

Over the 2023-24 heating season,

13,149
tons of coal were distributed to the Navajo Chapters and Hopi villages included in the chart below.
