In partnership with the non-profit Boulder Treasure, Boulder Housing Partners’ 30Pearl Community in the new Boulder Junction neighborhood offers a unique program for those living with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Twenty apartment homes are available at 30Pearl as part of an independent living program supported by the services of Boulder Treasures, whose non-profit helps adults with developmental disabilities achieve their goals of independent community living and employment.  Boulder Treasures currently offers a job training Apprentice Program within their retail clothing boutique Ramble on Pearl and will be expanding this program with a second social enterprise operating out of the Bluebell building at 30Pearl.
