Updated housing and heating grants for households

Beginning August 12, 2026, Colorado sets grant formulas for eligible households needing property tax, rent, or heating help. For 2023 claims, the starting amounts are $872 for property tax or rent and $240 for heat or fuel. Each amount is reduced by 10% of the claimant’s income above the program’s income phase-out threshold. For claim years beginning January 1, 2024, or later, each prior year’s maximum grant is adjusted for inflation before that income reduction. Each program pays the higher of this calculated amount or its flat grant amount.
