The City of Boulder established the Human Services Fund (HSF) in 1992 to support community programs and services consistent with the city’s core principles and goals. The city invests its resources to create a healthy, socially-thriving and inclusive community that supports Boulder community members in need. HSF funds are provided through the city’s general fund. Currently, the city utilizes joint application and grantee reporting processes in collaboration with the Boulder County Community Services and City of Longmont human services funding programs.
Human Services Fund Strategies
The 2023 HSF fund round will align with at least one of the following shared human services investment outcomes, in collaboration with the City of Boulder, Boulder County Community Services, and City of Longmont human services investment programs:
- Increase economic stability, mobility, and resilience (e.g., through employment, financial assistance, benefits or other earnings, financial literacy, or other forms of self-sufficiency assistance).
- Increase the ability for people to obtain and maintain housing (e.g., rental assistance, legal representation for housing, pathways to housing for individuals experiencing homelessness, other services that help keep people housed).
- Advance personal growth, development, and leadership potential; childhood development; academic achievement; (e.g., childcare, child, teen or adult academic support, youth, adult or older adult training, language access).
- Increase safe environments for people with diverse identities (e.g., through advocacy, legal representation, protection from violence or other forms of vulnerability).
- Increase positive physical, mental, or behavioral health and well being, and increase healthy behaviors (e.g., direct health care, wellness, food security or nutrition, social connectivity).
- Increased ability among community members to access critical services and improve quality of life (e.g., transportation, digital divide, culturally-centered assistance programs, independent living).
