The Colorado Low-income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) is a federally funded program that helps eligible hard-working Colorado families, seniors and individuals pay a portion of their winter home heating costs.

LEAP assistance is available to Colorado residents making 60% or less of the state median income. The amount of the energy assistance benefit varies depending on a variety of factors, including the primary heating fuel costs and income.

A printable application and instructions for LEAP is available in English and Spanish. You can request to have a paper application mailed to you by calling 866.432.8435 (866.HEAT.HELP).

You can also apply for LEAP on the Colorado PEAK website by clicking the link below. You will need to create a PEAK account if you do not already have one.

EFAA can offer direct financial assistance to residents of Boulder for a number of expenses, including energy-based utility bills. Your request for assistance with utility bills can be expedited if you have received a shut-off notice.
