Boulder County is committed to keeping manufactured and mobile homes as an affordable housing option for local families. The Department of Housing created the Mobile Home Communities Program to repair and improve mobile homes across the county.
The program focuses on:
Boulder County is working with the City of Boulder to carry out this work.
The program meets regularly with staff from other Boulder County departments to share updates, plan outreach, and coordinate work. These meetings happen every month and help make sure residents have one main point of contact for county programs working in their communities.
Boulder County is providing the Sans Souci Co-Op with a $1 million forgivable loan to replace its wastewater treatment facility. The old system is in a floodplain near South Boulder Creek. The new facility will be built outside the floodplain and will provide clean water for 62 households.

Working with the City of Boulder, the county is helping residents fix damage, improve protection from future weather events, and lower their energy costs.
