WAITLIST PROCESS

To become a resident at 1175 Lee Hill, you must join the waitlist through a reference from the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless or another local agency. The Shelter processes the eligibility of all applications using the Housing First Criteria, then the application is processed by Boulder Housing Partners before applicants are added to the waiting list. 


Property Description:

Construction at 1175 Lee Hill began in October 2013 and the Grand Opening was November 3, 2014.

1175 Lee Hill is a two-story apartment building located on the corner of Lee Hill and Broadway in north Boulder with 31 fully-furnished one bedroom apartments. This is a Housing First development which aims to support the chronically homeless, one of Boulder County's most vulnerable populations. In addition to housing, residents will receive support services from case managers.

The Housing First approach is founded on the belief that the first and primary need for the homeless population is to obtain stable housing. Other issues (e.g. disabling conditions, joblessness, poor health, alcohol addiction) that may affect the homeless can and should be addressed through case management and supportive services once housing is obtained.

Similar programs in other municipalities have shown that once these individuals have stable housing, they begin to work on the other hurdles in their lives. Studies have also shown that Housing First programs are highly cost effective as they significantly reduce demand on hospital emergency rooms, jails and court systems, and human service agencies.
