Boulder’s “Nurturing Futures” program was launched to provide direct cash assistance to support families with young children. The program will use its $6 million pot – funded by the American Rescue Plan (ARPA) – to provide 725 eligible households with $300 monthly payments for two years.

KGNU’s Rossana Longo-Better sat down with Commissioner Marta Loachamin to discuss the program, who’s eligible, and how to apply.
