Overview
Boulder County is committed to resolving homelessness in our community by expanding both housing opportunities and access to supportive services – both of which are proven to help individuals exit homelessness.
The county’s approach is an evidence-based model that provides a system of solutions, which include prevention, crisis response, and housing and supportive services. It is rooted in equity, data, and strong collaboration with county partners.
This approach to addressing homelessness starts with solutions for the root causes – including rental assistance to prevent individuals and families from entering homelessness, sheltering and street outreach for crisis response, and supportive case management services to help keep people housed.
Boulder County has invested $18 million in 2024 to assist community members directly impacted by homelessness. Since 2020 Boulder County programs have permanently housed 1,424 community members, while also preventing many individuals and families from entering homelessness and providing support services to countless community members experiencing homelessness. Boulder County remains committed to addressing the current homelessness crisis and finding solutions for the community.
