Boulder County Catholic Charities assistance programs.
A wide range of services are available from the Boulder County Catholic Charities. Resources range from counseling, referrals, emergency assistance for basic needs, and social services. While income and other conditions need to be met, some services are focused on seniors, low income Boulder area families with children, or single mothers.
Emergency financial assistance is available for families in a crisis situation. This can be due to an unexpected job loss, medical condition, or maybe the death of a spouse or key income earner. Catholic Charities and its churches may be able to help when an emergency hits a family.
An unexpected emergency can make it impossible to pay for certain bills and basic needs. The financial aid can help those families that otherwise need to choose between paying for routine expenses such as rent and utilities. While funding levels will change over the course of a year, on average a few hundred dollars may be paid out.
Any help offered will be one time only. It is for those individuals and families that are in a state of crisis. The help provided to Boulder families can be financial and address several needs. Aid can be for paying rent, prescriptions, funds for heating bills and more.
Housing assistance, rent, and homeless shelters are available. The shelters across Weld County will assure that the basic needs of homeless families and individuals are met. Catholic Charities may offer clients a safe shelter, warm clothing, and free food. Case managers will also coordinate short- and long-term housing and other supportive services with the objective to help people become self-reliant and stable.

They offer several types of affordable units to clients such as Senior Housing, support for the disabled, and support for single parents.
