The City of Boulder Housing and Human Services Department is hosting a virtual information session for community members interested in serving on the Human Services Fund Advisory Committee (HSFAC) or the Health Equity Advisory Committee (HEAC).
“Funding advisory committees play a very important role in our investment decision-making processes,” said Elizabeth Crowe, Human Services Investments Sr Project Manager. “We seek community members with diverse experiences and a commitment to service and equity, to help ensure that our investments are addressing both immediate needs and systemic disparities.”
The HSFAC’s purpose is to review funding applications to the Human Services Fund and make recommendations to staff and the city manager for nonprofit community program grants that reflect human service needs and priorities. Similarly, members of the HEAC review Health Equity Fund proposals and make recommendations for program grants, in alignment with legislative intent for the city’s Sugar-sweetened Beverage Product Distribution Tax and the Health Equity Fund strategic framework.
The role of these committees is advisory, technical, and not political in nature; members do not serve in an advocacy role for specific agencies or issues. Applicants will be screened for potential conflicts of interest due to personal or professional affiliation with current grantees or applicant agencies.
The virtual information session will be held on Thursday, April 14 at 5:30 p.m., in English with Spanish language interpretation. City staff will discuss and answer questions about committee roles and tasks, and the application process.
