Northern Colorado Self-Sufficiency Standard Release Event

What does it really take to make it in Larimer & Weld counties?

The income needed to meet the costs of basic needs has increased in all Colorado counties since 2001, and Larimer and Weld counties are at the top of the list. Women, particularly single mothers, experience higher levels of income inadequacy and are more likely to struggle. For example, a single mother with a pre-schooler and a school-age child making $15 per hour must work 69 hours per week in Weld County or 75 hours per week in Larimer County just to make ends meet for her family.

We'll explore the real costs of living in Larimer and Weld counties in 2018 and discuss what steps we need to take as a community to help women and their families make ends meet.

The program will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. Light food and beverages will be provided.
