Good morning, Lafayette.

On May 1, Boulder County mailed property owners a Notice of Valuation postcard with their property’s basic assessment.
Those who wish to appeal must file their appeal by 11:59 p.m. on June 9 using online, fax, mail, drop box, or email (bilingual staff are available to help).
A report by Public Policy Associates analyzed homelessness data from 2022 to 2023 and found Homeless Solutions for Boulder County is helping more people through emergency services but lacks enough permanent housing—issues driven by high costs and new arrivals.
The evaluation recommends improved data sharing and more investment in long-term housing—steps aimed at better serving those in need.
Boulder County Human Services has opened a Request for Applications to fund programs that help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism and brain injury secure stable housing.
Funding of about $500,000 from the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Mill Levy—approved in 2002—is available with applications accepted until June 2 at 5 p.m.
