The Boulder County Housing Helpline was launched in early April 2020, as Boulder County's response to rent assistance for residents financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since launch, the Housing Helpline has distributed more than $17 million in rent assistance to over 2,600 applicant households. Specialists at the Boulder County Housing Helpline have been working to connect residents with rental assistance, landlord supports, free mediation and legal services, financial coaching, and more to improve awareness of assistance and meet demand for a centralized source of housing information for Boulder County residents.
