According to Emily Chen, director of Human Services, this program served 24% more residents in 2025 compared to the previous year. “We’re seeing unprecedented demand from communities across Boulder County, particularly in Louisville and the surrounding area,” Emily Chen said.<\/p>\n
For questions about this program, contact Emily Chen at Human Services: (303) 441-8797 or email Human Services@bouldercounty.gov. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Walk-in services are available at the Louisville office without an appointment.<\/p>\n
Data from the 2025 Boulder County Community Survey shows that 24% of respondents rated this service as “important” or “very important.” The survey, conducted every two years, received 4,665 responses from residents across the county.<\/p>\n
Boulder County has partnered with the cities of Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette, and Louisville on this project. Combined investment across all jurisdictions totals $65,000, making it one of the largest collaborative efforts in the county’s history.<\/p>\n
