COMMUNITY-BASED SOLUTIONS
From mental health and homelessness to disaster relief and economic recovery, the Foundation not only provides grants to support nonprofits serving community members, but we also collaborate with community leaders, partners, donors, and organizations to address both immediate

and emerging challenges that affect us all.

ADDRSSING THE HOUSING CRISIS

A key issue facing Colorado—including the City and County of Broomfield—is the growing housing crisis. Housing has become increasingly unaffordable, particularly for single-parent households, low-income renters, and aspiring homeowners. The state’s housing shortage is driven by rising costs, limited supply, and increasing rents. As a result, many households are spending more than half of their income on housing, leaving them severely cost-burdened.

BROOMFIELD CITIZENS AND LEADERS ARE TAKING ACTION
The Broomfield Housing Solutions Forum (BHSF) is a newly formed network of community organizations and individuals dedicated to advocating for and implementing housing solutions. Their mission is to ensure that anyone who wishes to call Broomfield home can access and maintain safe, stable, affordable, and quality housing.

BHSF focuses on supporting Broomfield residents earning 80% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI)—a benchmark used to assess housing affordability and determine eligibility for housing programs. Currently, approximately 30 representatives meet regularly to advance these efforts.

HOUSING STABLITY TASK FORCE (HSTF)

One of the key initiatives emerging from BHSF’s discussions and advocacy is the Housing Stability Task Force (HSTF). With the support of a $50,000 seed grant from the Rose Community Foundation, the Task Force is working with local and subject-matter experts to explore potential new and ongoing sources of local funding. Their goal is to bridge the gap between Broomfield’s largely static housing resources and the community’s increasing, urgent housing-related needs. If you would like to learn more about BHSF and how you can get involved, click HERE.

The $50,000 seed grant is managed by the Broomfield Community Foundation, which serves as the fiscal sponsor for this initiative. To learn more about what a fiscal sponsor does, click HERE.

Together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive community where everyone has a place to call home.
