Weld County approves $184,617 CDBG application to expand respite services
Summary
The board authorized submission of a 2025 Community Development Block Grant application seeking $184,617 to expand evening and weekend respite services for low- and moderate-income families; Department of Human Services presented the proposal and the measure passed unanimously.
The Weld County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 29 approved submission of a Community Development Block Grant application seeking $184,617 to expand evening and weekend respite-care services.
Jamie Ulrich of the Department of Human Services described a partnership with a local respite provider identified in the meeting materials as "We Help and Love Everyone, doing business as Whale Inc." The funding would support extended-hour, disability-inclusive respite care targeted to low- and moderate-income families in Weld County.
Commissioner Lynette Peppler moved approval of the resolution; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. Peppler thanked county staff and the county attorney for working through questions and said the expansion fills a much-needed community service gap.
What happens next: approval in the meeting authorized the county to submit the CDBG application. Any award of funds would be subject to the grant program's selection and contracting processes.
