The Boulder County Emergency Rental Assistance Program team is grateful to have been able to receive and distribute the U.S. Treasury emergency funds to help sustain our Boulder County neighbors as a response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. This emergency funding has supported more than 2,230 households in Boulder County.
We are no longer processing applications because all available rental assistance funding has now been utilized, so if you have not already received an approval letter your application cannot be considered for funding from Boulder County.
We encourage you to contact the following community partners and explore other rental assistance options.

The Housing Helpline and the Housing Stabilization Program
In 2008, Boulder County Housing and Human Services created the Housing Stabilization Program (HSP) to help people struggling with covering their housing costs remain in their homes. Over the past decade, HSP has helped nearly 4,200 households across the community stabilize by providing $22 million in rental and utility assistance and connecting them with other important supports they need. The Housing Helpline, which is utilizing the structure of the HSP to disburse ERAP funding to those who need it, was created in April 2020 to help connect Boulder County residents impacted by COVID-19 with supports for renters and landlords, including rental assistance, mediation services, and legal assistance.
