The BEST communities are those who do a GREAT job of taking care of
their LEAST fortunate.

“On January 25, 2016, of the 5,467 homeless reported (Denver) metro-wide, 726 were reported as staying in Boulder County.
Of those, 129 lived on the street.”

A Denver study found that it costs an average community about $43,300 per year for each chronically homeless person living on the streets.
By contrast, it costs about $11,700 per year to provide housing and case management in a housing first setting. Communities can therefore save more than $31,000 per year, per housing first resident.

On August 1, 2106, the City of Boulder Human Services Department organized tour of several sites around Boulder that may be available to provide services to the homeless and poor.
Opportunity Village, Eugene, OR
Three of the tour stops were at sites that are being considered for the development of communities that will be intended to serve Boulder residents who are homeless.

“In the continuum of care for people who are homeless, there is a dearth of transitional housing available that bridges the gap between people who have no choice but to occupy shelters, and those who can be housed in permanent housing.”
“Bridge House does a wonderful job of providing such transitional housing with its Ready to Work facility, housing 44 previously homeless men.
Boulder Housing Partners operates 1175 Lee Hill, a housing facility for 31 chronically homeless men and women.
Other agencies in Boulder, including the Safe House Alliance and Attention Homes currently house over 150 previously homeless people.
Adding up the transitional housing provided in Boulder to accommodate the over 700 people who are currently homeless, we still have over 450 people in Boulder, right now in 2016 who remain unserved, remaining homeless.
To ‘end’ homelessness, if we provided housing first facilities for all of our 450 homeless neighbors in facilities like 1175 Lee Hill, it would cost us taxpayers $148,000,000*, an unlikely budget scenario.
*The 1175 Lee Hill cost $330,000 per unit
