HOUSING AND UTILITIES

Utility Assistance

Keeping the lights on, and the house warm.

Mountain Family Center can help pay utility bills that are past due, or that cannot be paid for the upcoming month. This includes gas, electric, propane or even wood if that is your main source of heat. Please call 970-557-3186 to schedule an appointment. Funding is limited and decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, so not all applications are guaranteed approval. Payments are made directly to the utility company, and assistance is available only once per year per household.

The State of Colorado also offers utility assistance through its LEAP program. We encourage those needing help with heating bills to apply for LEAP, in addition to applying for MFC’s assistance. MFC can help with the LEAP application process. Call 970-557-3186 to schedule an appointment.

NEW Mountain Parks Electric Program

The BOOST Program was established to decrease the energy cost burden within our communities by providing financial assistance to eligible income-qualified households for MPE bills. Effective February 1, 2025, it will run as a pilot program for 18 months.
Mountain Family Center is partnering with MPE to administer the income-qualification application process.
To apply or to find out more about the application process, please contact Mountain Family Center at 970-557-3186 or by visiting their offices at 480 E. Agate Ave. in Granby from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday – Thursday, and from 9 a.m. – noon on Fridays.
Eligible members will receive a 20% discount on their total current bill. Participants will be encouraged to enroll in MPE’s prepay program to assist them in managing their energy costs. If participants sign up for prepay, they will receive an additional 5% discount, bringing the total discount to 25%.
Participants will also be provided with educational materials and contact information for energy audits, weatherization, and rebates.
