Housing & Homelessness
<br />Boulder Shelter for the Homeless: 4869 Broadway St.,
<br />Boulder CO
<br />The Boulder Shelter for the Homeless built a new facility
<br />in north Boulder
<br />in 2003, replacing
<br />a decaying facility
<br />that could no
<br />longer meet the
<br />homeless service
<br />needs of Boulder
<br />County. Today,
<br />the new facility
<br />offers shelter, hot
<br />meals, and other services to 160 homeless individuals
<br />per day, between October and April of every year. The
<br />Shelter also provides slots/beds to help address the needs
<br />of other communities across the county. Worthy Cause
<br />III has helped the Shelter pay off the debt on its building,
<br />allowing current grant funding and donations to be used
<br />to directly serve the needs of the homeless. Worthy Cause
<br />contributed nearly $200,000 for security, energy efficiency,
<br />and other improvements at the facility. The investments
<br />include improved fencing and lighting upgrades, and
<br />modifications designed to minimize environmental
<br />impacts and reduce operating costs. These upgrades
<br />resulted in significant increases to the Shelter's efficiency
<br />and expanded the facility's photovoltaic capacity.
