No one should have to question where their next meal is coming from or where they’ll lay their head at night, but for many, this is a daily struggle. Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week is a time to focus on these critical issues, and in its observance, a wealth of resources have been highlighted for those in need. From food banks to shelters, the support available is essential for providing some semblance of stability for families and individuals grappling with these insecurities.
A crucial player in the landscape of support services, the Community Mediation and Resolution Center (CMRC) offers a variety of aid for those experiencing housing crises. According to theCity of Boulder, among the resources available through the CMRC are landlord-tenant information, mediation services, and a landlord/tenant handbook. In the unfortunate event of potential evictions, the Eviction Prevention and Rental Assistance Services provide legal and financial support to navigate the process.
For homeless adults in Boulder County, Coordinated Entry is a critical first step. By calling 303-579-4404 or visiting All Roads Shelter, individuals can undergo a short assessment that helps match them to the necessary support services, as outlined by the city’s website. These services might encompass anything from shelter to case management. Moreover, places like The Lodge at Haven Ridge offer a haven for women and transgender individuals, complete with meals and comprehensive support services.
Efforts to support families in crisis do not go unnoticed with organizations like the Emergency Family Assistance Association (EFAA) working tirelessly. The EFAA’s Housing Program not only provides short-term solutions but also transitional housing, as described on its website. Meanwhile, Mother House at Haven Ridge ensures that pregnant women and those choosing adoption have access to safe shelter and crucial educational resources.
Support extends to the youth and young adults facing homelessness, with organizations like TGTHR stepping up to provide a myriad of services, ranging from sheltering to employment help. On the other end of the spectrum, addressing food insecurity, the Emergency Family Assistance Association, Harvest of Hope Food Pantry, and Community Food Share offer access to food banks and pantry services, crucial for those struggling to put food on the table.
The city’s efforts are augmented by Boulder County Housing and Human Services, which provides assistance in obtaining food stamps and a variety of other services for seniors and veterans. Education institutions are doing their part too, with the Boulder Valley School District ensuring all students have access to free meals through their Healthy School Meals for All Program. These combined resources offer a network of support striving to meet the essential needs of Boulder’s most vulnerable populations.
