Carmen’s presentation will cover LEAP and other related
programs. LEAP is a federally funded program run by the state of
Colorado that helps qualified individuals pay a portion of their
home heating costs. Applications are available starting
November 1st and will end April 30th.
The average benefit for LEAP this year is
just under $400. Other programs that can help folks with utilities
are available. Energy Outreach Colorado is a non-profit that can
provide up to $1000 of relief per year for one gas and one electric
bill. Arapahoe and Adams County’s Weatherization program and
the Crisis intervention Program will be explained. Applications and
brochures will be provided.
