We also offer an emergency grant assistance program to people that own & occupy their home and make no more than 50% of the area median income, see chart. This program can offer funds to people in urgent need situations such as burst pipes, shot water heater or furnace. We do require that if you are asking for assistance to replace a furnace you must first apply with the weatherization program (Longs Peak Energy Conservation www.co.boulder.co.us/cs/ho) if you are turned down by them you may then apply with us. These grants can not exceed $1,000, unless special circumstances are approved by the program manager. You are only eligible to receive emergency funds assistance one time.
