Project Overview

The city's Homelessness Strategy is built around the belief that Boulder community members should have the opportunity for a safe and stable place to live. The strategy expands pathways to permanent housing and increases access to programs and services.

As part of Homeless Solutions for Boulder County (HSBC), a collaboration between the City of Boulder, the City of Longmont and Boulder County, the city has worked to expand housing opportunities and supportive services, maximize efficiency and effectiveness through partnerships, increase public information and create safe and welcoming public spaces.

HSBC has contracted Public Policy Associates to conduct an evaluation of the HSBC system of care. The evaluation design will encompass both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, integrating diverse data sources and perspectives to provide a holistic understanding of the system’s assets and challenges
