The Boulder County Collaborative ("the Collaborative") is a partnership of Boulder County communities that was formed in response to the catastrophic floods of September 11th through September 15th, 2013. The Collaborative received a sub-allocation of the CDBG-DR funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to address long-term disaster recovery needs related to the federally-declared 2012 wildfires and 2013 floods.
