Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP)

The Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) is a federally funded program that helps eligible Colorado households with a portion of their winter home heating costs. Applications are accepted each year from November 1st - April 30th. The benefit does not cover the full cost of heating and is offered once per season. LEAP payments are made directly to the household’s primary heating fuel vendor or utility. Household types may include those using fuels such as:

• Wood
• Coal
• Propane
• Heat billed on a shared meter

Applicants must:

• Be a permanent legal resident of the United States and Colorado, or have a household member that is a US citizen
• Pay home heating costs to a heating provider, fuel dealer, or landlord as part of rent
• Have a maximum household income that falls within the guidelines below

'Household” means people who live with you and for whom you are financially responsible.
