The 2027 Routt County Human Resource Coalition Community Support Funding opportunity is open for eligible health and human service organizations serving Routt County. The Routt County Human Resource Coalition distributes City of Steamboat Springs and Routt County community support funds through a competitive process administered with United Way of the Yampa Valley as fiscal agent.
Deadline: October 15, 2026. The controlling current program page does not publish a closing clock time or time zone. Atlas therefore treats the exact deadline as unverified for new cold applicant outreach and will not infer a time zone.
Eligibility
Applicants must qualify as health and human service organizations under the RC HRC policy and hold Formal RC HRC Member status in good standing. The current membership policy defines eligible organizations as nonprofit, public, or fiscally sponsored community based organizations whose primary mission and core services improve health, safety, basic needs, stability, early childhood support, family well being, behavioral health, crisis support, housing stability, food security, transportation access, prevention, or other human service needs of Routt County residents. Formal membership requires current dues, at least 75 percent meeting attendance, and active committee participation.
Schools and school affiliated entities may not apply for, manage, or directly receive RC HRC grant funds. A school based project may be considered only when it is strictly health and human service focused and an eligible RC HRC member serves as lead applicant and fiscal agent.
Funding and eligible request
The current 2027 materials do not state a fixed per applicant award range or total HRC funding pool. A request may not exceed 30 percent of the organization's total annual expenses in the board approved budget in place when applying. The program generally encourages operating support because it carries fewer restrictions, while program requests may also be appropriate when they align with the Community Support criteria. No mandatory applicant match or cost share is stated in the current materials reviewed by Atlas.
Application requirements and submission
The application opened September 1, 2026 and is submitted through Microsoft Forms. Financial documents are uploaded separately through the program's designated upload link, and both steps must be completed for an application to be complete. Current guidance calls for recent financial statements and a full year organizational budget; applicants should use audited financials when available and provide transparent balance sheet, activity statement, and budget information. Applicants also select an interview time with the grant selection committee for November 13, 2026. Prior 2025 RC HRC awardees must submit their progress report by October 15, 2026.
Atlas fit assessment
This is a strong Colorado community health and human services funding opportunity, particularly for behavioral health, disability services, aging, crisis support, food security, transportation access, housing stability, family wellbeing, and related social determinants of health. Atlas Opportunity Score: 89/100. N9+ Fit Score: 10/100. The current materials do not establish a clear telehealth, remote examination, clinical equipment, or device procurement pathway, so Atlas is not forcing a Nonagon N9+ commercial fit.
Outreach control: publication does not authorize cold outreach. Because the authoritative source does not state the deadline time zone, Atlas will fail closed for new applicant outreach until the exact deadline is authoritatively verified.
