City of Boulder Homelessness Services/Coordinated Entry
- In Boulder County, people experiencing homelessness can access services and housing resources through Coordinated Entry, a short screening in which questions are asked to determine needs and match them with services. During the process, people are also assessed for possible Diversion Services: a specialist can provide financial (e.g., bus passes, car repairs) or non-financial (e.g., landlord discussions) assistance to resolve homelessness immediately.

Feet Forward - A local nonprofit organization that provides food, clothes, survival gear, peer-to-peer mentoring, housing and job assistance, and more to the unhoused community in Boulder County. Donations go directly to keeping people experiencing homelessness warm, dry, and fed.
Boulder Shelter - Many opportunities for individuals and groups to volunteer their time and help provide meals to Boulder's homeless. Also accepts financial and in-kind donations.
Bridge House - Bridge House relies on volunteers to provide one-on-one mentoring, work training, and more to help people get back on their feet. Also accepts financial and in-kind donations.
