Boulder County Low-Income Energy Assistance Program

The Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) will begin accepting applications November 2, and will continue accepting applications through April 30, 2010.
 
LEAP assists low-income households with paying their winter heating bills. Income criteria and other eligibility factors must be met. The program is designed to pay the highest benefit to households with the highest heating costs and lowest income.
 
In 2008, the program processed 4,166 applications over the 6-month program period, representing an average monthly submission of nearly 700 applications. In that same time period, 3,392 applications were approved with an average benefit amount of $546.63 per household.
