Latest Updates Regarding COVID-19
As circumstances from COVID-19 continue to evolve and we have moved to the Safer-at-Home phase, Boulder Housing Partners remains committed to helping ensure the health and well-being of those we serve and our community.
We continue to closely monitor recommendations from public health agencies and are making operational changes to respond accordingly. We are also keeping a close eye on resources that are available in our community if you would like to visit our resources page for additional information.
We will continue to provide updates on our website and we thank you for your patience as we navigate this time together.

We will monitor public health recommendations along with local and organizational guidelines to make any necessary changes closer to that date and will provide updates as we learn more.

BHP Properties Serving those with Higher Risk of Illness
Due to health and safety concerns of COVID-19, Boulder Housing Partners further restricted access to BHP properties serving those with higher risk of illness effective March 23, 2020. Please continue to follow the these guidelines of restricted access at these locations during the Safer-at-Home phase until further notice.

Please continue to follow the City of Boulder and Boulder County requirements to wear face coverings when inside community buildings or when in public anywhere in the county where social distancing of 6 feet cannot be maintained, including at parks and outdoor facilities. We've posted signs at BHP communities as a reminder to wear face coverings.
Convenient Rent Payment Options for BHP Residents
Boulder Housing Partners offers several ways for BHP residents to pay rent that are convenient and don’t require you to leave your community or, in some cases, the safety and comfort of your home. You can:
- Visit our Easy Rent Payment Options page to learn more about electronic payments or to pay online through Rent Café
