About the Bringing School Home Program 

In partnership with families and community partners, such as Emergency Family Assistance Association (EFAA) and “I Have a Dream” Foundation of Boulder County, Boulder Housing Partners (BHP) is offering Bringing School Home — an innovative program that brings together quality, affordable housing and educational opportunities for the whole family.

Families who meet eligibility requirements and are interested in participating in educational programming to support their children’s long-term success may apply to Bringing School Home through BHP. Supportive services start when families move into a Bringing School Home community and continue as children move along their educational path toward high school graduation.

Who is Eligible? 

Bringing School Home is open to families who live or work in Boulder County, have at least one child under the age of 6, and will pass the housing screening criteria. Families who are accepted into Bringing School Home commit to participating in specific supportive services focused on helping children achieve success in education.

Which BHP communities participate in Bringing School Home? 

Bringing School Home operates in four deeply affordable communities managed by Boulder Housing Partners:

• Diagonal Court
• Iris Hawthorn
• Kalmia
• Manhattan

These communities can access rich resources, including community centers with libraries, computers, Wi-Fi, and comprehensive and long-term educational programs.

What types of educational opportunities are provided? 

In partnership with EFAA, participants receive resource navigation to support housing stabilization, meeting basic needs, and accessing other resources in the community. A wide variety of educational opportunities then continue through BHP’s Resident Services Department, partner organizations, and participant-driven programs. Participating parents will be part of a leadership group that works with the BHP Resident Services Team to implement programs such as:

• Summer literacy
• After-school enrichment
• Dental and developmental screenings for children
• Field trips to museums
• Parent/child art and recreation classes
• Playgroups, parenting classes, and workshops

In addition to programming for young children and parents, older siblings will also receive educational support. If an opportunity arises, children will be invited to participate in the “I Have a Dream” program
