An elder-friendly community provides a “rock solid safety net” that ensures that the basic needs for housing, health care, food, clothing, and access to essential services are met.

In Boulder County we embrace a philosophy of “thriving, not just surviving” for all residents. We strive to create a continuum of services that accommodates all levels of income, age, and ability.

The Basic Needs quadrant workgroup has split into three sub-groups to better accomplish their goals. The groups are:

• Housing
• Nutrition
• One Call Does It All
