Energy Assistance Programs

LIEAP

The Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) is designed to help low income households meet the expense of keeping warm during the cold months. Those who qualify receive a credit to their utility account if heat costs are paid directly and a heat rebate if heating costs are included in rent. Those who use wood are usually paid directly for wood purchases.

LIEAP is funded by the Department of Public Health and Human Services, and is administered by Rocky Mountain Development Council for Broadwater, Jefferson, and Lewis & Clark counties.

If a household has a heating emergency which poses an imminent threat to the health and safety of the household, LIEAP can help with emergency assistance. Some examples of an emergency are broken furnaces, hazardous conditions in the heating system, loss of the primary supply of energy, or other forces outside the control of the household which cause a severe loss of heat.

LIEAP also has a supply of self-weatherization materials available at no charge to qualifying households. These include window kits, caulking, and weather-stripping.
