Low-income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP)
LEAP is a program for families and individuals with limited incomes who need help paying their heating bills. The program is open from Nov. 1 through April 30, 2023 and provides help with heating costs to eligible families. In most cases, the energy assistance benefit is paid directly to the household energy supplier.
Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP)
This heating season LIHWAP is available to qualifying households to help reconnect their disconnected drinking water or waste/sewer services, or help the household if facing disconnection with their drinking water and waste/sewer services, or if they have a past due amount with their drinking water and waste/sewer services. Funds are limited and are on a first come first serve basis.
Eagle County LEAP is administered by Discover Goodwill of Southern Western Colorado.
See the Colorado Energy Assistance website for LEAP program information and the most up-to-date guidelines.
To Apply:
Applications are available by calling 1-888-775-LEAP (1-888-775-5327) any time between November 1 and April 30. Continue paying your heat bill, as LEAP assistance will not pay your entire bill!
