Housing

COVID-19 has made it difficult for many in our community to cover the cost of their housing. There is some help available for both renters and landlords.

An order has been issued that temporarily halts evictions through June 30, 2021 for people who lost income or had large medical expenses, but there are restrictions and it does not cancel or stop the build-up of owed rent that can be collected at the end of the order. In addition, renters must have done all they can to get government assistance for rent or housing to qualify for the eviction protection. See the fact sheet in English or Spanish for details.

Renters having trouble paying their rent due to COVID-19 and their landlords should do the following:

  • work together to create payment plans or agree on reduced rent plans
  • get free mediation help to communicate
  • get free legal assistance
  • seek financial assistance for renters (Emergency Housing Assistance Program, or EHAP) or landlords (Property Owner Preservation program, or POP)

The Boulder County Housing Helpline can help Boulder County renters and landlords navigate this process and find financial assistance for which they may qualify. Call 303-441-1206 and leave a detailed message. A Housing Specialist will return the call as soon as possible (due to high call volume, please allow three to five days).

Help, including financial assistance, may also be available through community non-profit organizations such as Sister Carmen Community Center in Lafayette, EFAA in Boulder, and OUR Center in Longmont.

If financial assistance is not available and mediation and other efforts fail, renters should then consider signing the declaration of eligibility (also in Spanish) for the evictions moratorium noted above. In Boulder County, landlords are also required to provide this information to tenants if they move to evict.

Have other questions about evictions? See detailed information in English or Spanish.

More specific guidance for both renters and landlords is below.

Here are resources and information for Boulder County Housing Authority residents and voucher holders.

Guidance for Renters

Step 1 – Work with Your Landlord

In these unprecedented times, it is important for landlords and tenants to work together to reach a compromise. Contact your landlord as soon as possible to discuss the financial realities and develop a plan that can work for both of you. Some options may include a payment plan, temporary rent reduction (if possible), substituting services for rent, or other creative solutions. Please be sure to document any agreement in writing.

Step 2 – Use Mediation or Legal Support (if needed)

  • Mediation services for Boulder, Gunbarrel, Nederland and surrounding area, Louisville, and Superior: City of Boulder Mediation Program has expanded to serve all listed areas, and now has an online form for requesting services.

  • Call the Housing Help Line: If you do not have children in your home or you otherwise do not qualify for Colorado Works/TANF, call 303-441-1206 and leave a detailed message. A Housing Specialist will then return your call in 1 to 2 business days (delays are due to high call volume at this time).
  • Or reach out to your local Family Resource Center: Each of the three agencies listed below is assisting their community members with rental and other financial assistance, along with immediate access to food and many other resources.

Guidance for Landlords

Step 1 – Work with Your Tenant(s) and Lender(s)

Agencies, businesses, landlords, families and individuals need to collaborate and compromise to help our community stabilize during COVID-19. We encourage you to partner with your tenants to develop a plan that works for all. Some options may include a payment plan, temporary rent reduction (if possible), substituting services for rent, or other creative solutions.

Additional detailed information and a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) for tenants and landlords is available in the COVID-19 Rental, Evictions and Foreclosures FAQ, available in English and Spanish.

  • Property owners facing payment issues should contact their lender immediately. Communicating with the lender early gives everyone time to develop an alternative plan.
  • The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has enacted an “immediate foreclosure and eviction moratorium for single family homeowners with FHA-insured mortgages” through the end of 2020.
  • Servicers of Fannie Mae- and Freddie Mac-backed loans are instructed to work with borrowers experiencing hardship related to COVID-19. This includes suspension of payment, creating forbearance plans, and loan modification. It is expected many other lenders will follow this same guidance.
  • The Boulder County Personal Finance program provides free counseling by trained homeownership counselors related to foreclosure, loan modification, and lender communications (BoulderCountyPFP.org).
  • Other help is available. Learn more on the Boulder County Covid-19 Resources for Businesses page.

Step 2 – Use Mediation or Legal Support (if needed)

  • Mediation services for Boulder, Gunbarrel, Nederland and surrounding area, Louisville, and Superior: City of Boulder Mediation Program has expanded to serve all listed areas, and now has an online form for requesting services.
  • Mediation services for Longmont, Lafayette, Niwot and surrounding area, Lyons, and Allenspark: The City of Longmont Mediation Program has expanded to serve all listed areas.
    • Phone: 303-651-8444

    • Phone: 303-449-7575
  • Boulder County Bar Association has created a free Virtual Legal Clinic for the many people affected by the current pandemic who may need attorney advice. To request legal help, click on the link and then register for the clinics under “For the Community”.

Step 3 – Get Financial Assistance

It is important to know that our community’s potential need for rental assistance far exceeds the available resources. Because we are unable to help all those struggling with covering their housing costs right now, our focus at this time is to help our lowest-income community members. As new information on state, federal, and other assistance become available, we will update this page. Please check back regularly.

Resources for Individuals Experiencing Homelessness

COVID-19 Recovery Center (Boulder) closed in April 2022. In March 2020, in response to the first confirmed positive case, a coordinated team from the City of Boulder, the City of Longmont, and Boulder County, developed a plan and initiative to house individuals experiencing homelessness amid COVID-19 concerns through creating the COVID-19 Recovery Center (CRC) with a bed capacity of up to 30 individuals for single adults over the age of 18. The CRC incorporated housing vulnerable individuals who present symptomatic or have tested positive and were experiencing homelessness thus lacking the ability to comply with quarantine protocols.

Child & Adult Protection

Child and Adult Abuse & Neglect

For some in our community, staying home is also not safe.

This is a stressful time for all of us. The uncertainty created by the COVID-19 public health emergency combined with social isolation, reduced access to employment and food, and in some cases lack of child care, is difficult for many families and individuals to endure. Please reach out to your family, friends, and neighbors by phone or video during this time, and help ensure they feel supported. Consider leaving food on neighbors’ doorsteps or connecting them with supports and services they may not know exist.

We also recognize that for some families and individuals, the difficulties are too much to handle. The Boulder County Abuse and Neglect Hotline is available 24 hours a day, every day, at 303-441-1309. We respond to concerns around potential abuse and neglect by working with families and individuals to understand their challenges and -in many cases- connecting them with supports they may need. The safety of children and at-risk adults is a top priority for us. Anyone witnessing a child or at-risk adult in a life-threatening situation should call 911 immediately.

Domestic Violence

Social and physical isolation can increase the risk of violence in a household where it already exists or there is potential for it. If a friend or neighbor is in trouble, what can you do? See this important information in English and Spanish.

See the Staying at Home During COVID-19 Resources for Survivors of Abuse flyers in English and Spanish.

You should call 911 if you are in immediate danger.

Local Organizations in Need

  • Safe Shelter of St. Vrain Valley. We continue to serve up to 160 clients each night, amidst the COVID-19 health crisis, who would otherwise have no place to stay. We have shifted to providing sack breakfast and dinner meals in effort to ensure safe delivery without the use of our regular volunteers and to permit as much “social distancing” as possible within the construct of our facility. Funding from the Neighbor to Neighbor COVID-19 Relief Fund would be used to support the costs associated with these meals as well as other necessary expenses to providing safe shelter to our clients.
    Goal – $5,000
    To Donate directly to Safe Shelter with a credit card click here.
