New Funding Opportunity to Support Housing for People with Disabilities — April 2025

Boulder County Housing & Human Services announces a new funding opportunity for projects that create or preserve affordable, accessible housing for people with disabilities. Up to $500,000 is available for capital improvements, accessibility modifications, and supportive housing development. Applications are due May 1.

The project includes improvements along Niwot Road between Nederland and the intersection with South Boulder Road. Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2026 with completion expected within 7 months.

The Nederland Senior Center offers related programming including free legal consultations, tax preparation assistance, health screenings, and social activities. Over 4,882 seniors participated in center programs last year.

Details

The Board of County Commissioners will review progress on this initiative at their April 24 business meeting. Agenda items and supporting documents are posted on the Boulder County website 72 hours before each meeting.

The Coalton Trail open space property encompasses 1,661 acres and features 8 miles of multi-use trails. Seasonal wildlife closures may apply from December 15 through July 15 to protect nesting raptors and elk calving areas.

Background

Safety data from the Nederland area shows 37 reported incidents in the past 12 months, a 14% change from the previous year. The Sheriff’s Office has increased patrols along Niwot Road and added community outreach programs in response to resident feedback.
