We're having to tap into our 'snowy-day' fund.

I'd like to thank Governor Owens and the Colorado Legislature for recognizing the impact this energy cost crisis has had on many households, and for providing Energy Outreach and the LEAP program with the funding needed to help meet this extraordinary need.

This winter will be a catastrophe. The overall economy is a little better than it was two years ago, but that doesn't seem to have benefited our most vulnerable households.

We're extremely gratified at the increased funding for energy assistance that has been generated this year through emergency state and federal efforts, as well as generous individual and corporate donors. Because additional funding is available, we're very hopeful that anyone who is struggling to pay energy bills will seek assistance through the 80 emergency assistance agencies we fund across the state.
