Boulder County launches Three60 Family Support as part of Foster Care Awareness Month

Boulder County, Colo. – Boulder County Family and Children’s Services, a division of the Department of Housing and Human Services, has launched its Three60 Family Support campaign as part of Foster Care Awareness Month.


Three60 strives to raise awareness of the urgent need for Foster Care, Respite Care, and Adoption from Foster Care of Waiting Kids. Especially needed right now are single and/or  married adults willing to care for siblings, adolescents and children with special needs or to support a family caring for such people.


National current statistics indicate that 240,000 youth will age out of foster care within the next 10 years, with inadequate support, resources, family connections, skills or options to compete in the workforce and build successful lives. The Department of Housing and Human Services is currently collaborating with Casey Family Programs to promote best practices in foster care and ensure every child in the United States has a safe, healthy family.


To help raise awareness in your community or for more information about Three60 Family Support – foster care, respite, kinship and adoption from foster care – contact Gabriel Bernier at gbernier@bouldercounty.org, 303-441-1089 or visit
