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.

SENIOR CITIZEN NEEDS

The Broomfield Community Foundation, alongside local government and community members, is coming together to assess the evolving needs of our senior citizens. We recognize that this vital population has spent decades contributing to the growth and vibrancy of our community, building careers, raising families, and shaping the place we call home. As they enter their retirement, we aim to ensure they have the resources and support needed to remain in Broomfield with dignity and security. Through collaboration and thoughtful planning, we are committed to fostering a community where our seniors can continue to thrive and enjoy the quality of life they deserve.

ADDRESSING 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. Approximately 30 representatives of the housing program meet regularly to advance these efforts.

HOUSING STABLITY TASK FORCE (HSTF)

After years of ongoing dialogue about housing insecurity in the Broomfield community, the Housing Stability Task Force was established to explore how additional financial resources could be leveraged to meet the needs of those most vulnerable to housing instability. With the support of a $50,000 seed grant from the Rose Community Foundation, the Task Force is partnering with local leaders and subject-matter experts to identify both new and sustainable sources of local funding. Their goal is to bridge the growing gap between Broomfield’s largely static housing resources and the community’s increasing and urgent housing needs.
