What's new?
Human Relations Fund (HRF) applications are now open. HRF funds support community-initiated activities that raise awareness of civil or human rights issues.
This week at City Council
The Council will discuss design priorities for Civic Area updates. Plan to jump in on June 16, when staff begins community engagement on the concept design.
Get engaged
On April 26, the city is partnering with Boulder Housing Partners and the Emergency Family Assistance Association (EFAA) to connect community members with essential services and information to support housing needs in Boulder.
Community Kudos
The DRCOG retreat was wonderful and exacerbated my workforce shortage concerns. This 60-year animation shows the disproportionate reduction in Boulder County’s working-age adults.
