2013 flood devastated the Colorado front range

In the fall of 2013,

Boulder County experienced a 100-year flood, which left thousands of people displaced and the community in crisis. EFAA, with increased support from the community, responded immediately to the need by hiring additional staff, opening the food bank to all flood victims, housing displaced families, and providing other services.


In 2016,

EFAA launched several new pilot programs to empower families to thrive and build self-sufficiency, including Internships to Careers for Motivated Parents, Keep Families Housed, and Bringing School Home.


In 2017,

EFAA officially became a Family Resource Center. In addition, amidst dwindling affordable housing for families, EFAA is nearing completion of new transitional housing at a site in North Boulder, adding 5 additional housing units. These housing units are expected to be open Spring 2018.
