Complete Boulder’s Family-Friendly Vibrant Neighborhoods survey with your feedback

Housing costs in Boulder have been consistently rising for years, and the city is trying to address affordability in a variety of ways. Colorado is also experiencing housing challenges where supply has fallen short of demand.

One approach is to adjust the city’s land use code to expand opportunities for housing. This is one of the City Council's work program priority projects for 2024–25. The goal of the Family-Friendly Vibrant Neighborhoods project is to focus on inclusion and help increase housing affordability, enabling more people to stay in or move to Boulder.

Federal student loan on-ramp program ending on Sept. 30

Last year, the Department of Education created an on-ramp to student loan repayment by providing an additional grace period for borrowers who may have been unable to begin repaying their loans immediately. During this period, borrowers have been able to make partial or late payments and miss payments without the associated consequences or negative credit reports. This period of protection ends on Sept. 30.
