In partnership with local non-profit the Ramble Collective, Boulder Housing Partners’ 30PRL community offers a unique program for those living with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Twenty apartment homes in the Bluebell building of 30PRL take part in a neuro-inclusive housing and independent living program supported by the services of the Ramble Collective, whose non-profit helps adults with developmental disabilities achieve their goals of independent community living and employment.  The Ramble Collective also offers an extension of their apprentice program at Ramble Marketplace, their newest retail location selling local Boulder-themed gifts, that is conveniently located on the lower level of the Bluebell building.  

About the Apartment Homes

All apartments at 30PRL feature amenities such as in-home washers & dryers, air-conditioning, and dishwashers, as well as community features such as free wi-fi, elevator access, and multiple community gathering rooms.    

Rent

For residents who qualify for 30PRL’s independent living program, rent is approximately 30% of the households’ gross income, as determined through the eligibility process.

Supportive Services

• Community engagement through optional organized outings or gatherings for activities within the common spaces of the Bluebell building.
• Optional access to a Community Liaison on an as-needed basis to help facilitate access to community resources. Boulder Treasures will also be available to assist with connections between residents taking part in the independent living program and can act as a liaison between resident households and their case management or family support networks.
