High heating bills are the latest thing to affect consumers. There are ways individuals and families can get help on a portion of their utility bills. 

Colorado’s Low-Income Assistance Program, or LEAP, is a federally funded program to help pay those bills during the winter. 

Those making less than 60% of the state’s median income level qualify for help. For example, a family of four has to make less that $5,500 per month to be eligible.   

Applications for LEAP are available now at cdhs.colorado.gov/leap. Or call 1-866-432-8435 to learn more.
