LEAP provides a one-time payment directly to heating utility providers to help cover primary heating fuel costs, regardless of whether a home relies on natural gas, electricity, propane, or firewood. Households that pay for heat directly or have heating costs included in their rent are eligible to apply. In addition to heating bill assistance, eligible applicants may receive support for emergency furnace or heating system repairs and replacements, as well as weatherization services to improve long-term home energy efficiency.
To qualify, households must pay home heating costs directly to a utility provider or as part of rent, provide proof of lawful presence in the United States for household members born outside the country, and meet monthly gross household income limits: $3,774 or less for a one-person household, $4,936 for two people, $6,097 for three, $7,258 for four, $8,420 for five, and $9,581 for six. Mesa County residents can apply online through the Colorado PEAK website at peak.colorado.gov, or by phone at 1-866-HEAT-HELP (1-866-432-8435) to receive an application by mail. Once an application is approved, assistance payments are sent directly to the recipient's energy vendor, and applicants receive a written notice outlining their benefit amount.
