Program Description
LEAP is a Federally funded program administered by the Colorado Department of Human Services. Energy Outreach Colorado (EOC) also provides some of the funding for LEAP. LEAP is designed to help with your winter heating costs. LEAP is not intended to pay the entire cost of home heating. If you are applying for LEAP assistance, you should continue to pay on your heating bill.
