What is the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program?
The Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) is a federally funded program administered by the Colorado Department of Human Services that is designed to help qualifying low-income households cover part of their winter home heating costs from November 1st through April 30th. LEAP is not intended to pay the entire cost of home heating. LEAP benefits are available to all eligible persons without regard to race, color, sex, age, handicap, national origin, political or religious beliefs. Qualifying persons will receive only one LEAP benefit per heat season. Although LEAP assistance may be split into two (2) separate payments, any benefit received during a heat season will be the only one for that year and participants must plan accordingly.
