Homeless in Boulder Oct 23, 2014

Show notes

Isabel McDevitt, Executive Director of Bridge House – Boulder’s homeless day shelter, Elizabeth Freedman, Director of Programs at the Emergency Family Assistance Association, and Morgan McMillan, Civic Forum Director for The Community Foundation talk about local homelessness. Homelessness is not a new issue for this community. In fact, the most recent count of local homeless shows a decrease in the number of people without housing – but there’s been a renewed sense of urgency on the topic from local policymakers and media. Why is that? And how are the providers in our community responding? What can Boulder County residents do if they want to help?

Boulder County Latino History Project Sep 22, 2014

Show notes

Rich Lopez, Community Foundation Trustee, will be joined by Linda Arroyo-Holstrom and Magdalena Casillas to share the work of the Boulder County Latino History Project. The project, a collaborative, grass-roots initiative, is documenting and describing the history of Latinos in our area over the past century. It is focusing on the towns of Longmont (an agricultural center), Lafayette (a coal mining community), and Boulder (shaped by commerce and the University of Colorado). Currently the group is writing a book about their findings, generating interactive computer maps showing Latino-headed households across the 20th century, and working with the county’s two school districts to produce teaching units that incorporate Latino material into the curriculum at all grade levels.
