The Boulder County Department of Human Services works closely with local organizations to help all people in our community who need support, with an emphasis on populations that have been historically underserved. Our Human Services Community Partnership Grant funds local resources to enhance the well-being of those who call Boulder County home. This funding helps create opportunities for individuals and families to succeed, strengthens our community, and builds a resilient and sustainable future.
In 2024, we renamed this grant from the “Human Services Safety Net Grant” to the “Human Services Community Partnership Grant.” This new name reflects our use of various funding sources and emphasizes our commitment to collaboration in this program.
