While Boulder is a beautiful place to live, work and play, the same natural lands that make it special also put the community at significant risk for wildfires. The City of Boulder’s Wildfire Resilience Assistance Program (WRAP) provides funding to eligible property owners to complete eligible home hardening and vegetation management work on their properties. This funding comes from the City's Climate Tax.

At this time, all the funding for WRAP 2025 has been committed. If you have already received pre-approval through the program, your funding is reserved.

Additional funding may become available for this year. If you're interested in joining a waitlist should more funding become available, please submit an application following our standard application process. If funding does become available, waitlisted applications will be considered on a first-come first served basis. If your name is next on the waitlist, Program staff will contact you directly with next steps.

The waitlist is for 2025 funding only and will not carry over into any future fund round.

If you would like to receive future program updates, please sign up for our newsletter.

Work completed while WRAP is closed may not be eligible for reimbursement in the next fund round.

Wildfire Resilience Assistance Program

Thank you for being proactive and enthusiastic about wildfire resilience for your property!

Please know that we are working through a high volume of DHAs. As a result, assessments are being scheduled several months out. Once we work through the existing backlog, you will receive a scheduling link for your requested DHA. This process may take a month or longer. We appreciate your patience!

At this time, all available funding for the WRAP has been reserved for project applications already received. We are accepting additional applications for the waitlist ONLY. If more funding becomes available within the 2025 term, we will consider waitlisted applications on a first-come, first-served basis. If your application is next on the waitlist, Program staff will email you with next steps.

Applicants located in the City’s Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) are eligible to receive up to $2,000 in funding per property.

At this time, the city is piloting a program that will provide funding for HOAs in the city’s WUI that have already requested a Detailed Home Assessment. If you believe your HOA is eligible, please email wrap@bouldercolorado.gov to confirm eligibility and learn more about the application process. HOAs must be registered with the Secretary of State and Colorado Division of Real Estate in order to participate. Applications for the HOA pilot program will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, until December 15th or until funds are exhausted, whichever is first. Please note that this arm of program may change in the future based on participation, community need, and other factors.

If you have received a DHA on or after November 13, 2023, please access the DHA report through the link you received from the Community Risk Reduction specialists after you received the DHA. If you no longer have access to the link, please email wildfire-help@bouldercolorado.gov. If you received a DHA prior to this time, please sign up to be re-assessed.

Please reach out to City Staff at wrap@bouldercolorado.gov to discuss your specific situation.

No, the city does not share information about program participation with insurance companies.

Please reach out to city staff by phone at 1 (303) 413-7868 or email at wrap@bouldercolorado.gov for additional questions or if you need help with your application.
