LEAP assistance is not intended to pay a household’s entire cost of home heating, so it is important that households continue to pay their heating bills. To qualify for LEAP, applicants must be responsible for paying heating costs to an energy provider, fuel dealer or, as part of their rent and be permanent legal residents of the United States and Colorado, or have household members who are U.S. The LEAP program begins November 1 and runs through the end of April, however, applications are processed as long as funding is available. Through the administering of LEAP, Goodwill helps break this barrier and allows residents to focus on their job search and caring for their families. Goodwill’s mission is heavily focused on helping employ individuals with economic barriers-including those lacking the finances to keep their homes heated in the wintertime. Through a partnership with the State of Colorado Department of Human Services, Goodwill administers the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program, also known as LEAP, which provides home heating assistance to households with income up to 60 percent of the Colorado State Median Income.
