Basic Needs & Resource Matching

LEAF offers grants and resource referrals for basic needs like rent or utility assistance, medical, or transportation help.

COVID-19 Update

LEAF serves as the human services safety net for people in need in the Greater Lyons area. 

Please visit our COVID-19 and Gig Grants page to learn more about financial assistance and to apply for a grant if you have been affected by COVID. 


We are here to partner with you and help you identify and navigate resources. If you are experiencing an unexpected financial crisis unrelated to COVID, please email Ellen for information and assistance.

Basic Needs & Resource Matching works with clients through a strengths-based approach. This means we act as a coach and systems navigator to help our clients set and meet their own goals towards self-sufficiency. Most weeks, we meet with around 10 clients. Services include:
  • Financial counseling in partnership with Boulder County’s financial counseling program
  • Financial assistance with rent, mortgage, utilities, transportation, and other basic needs
  • Assistance with applying for public benefits
  • Referrals to other agencies for further support​

The Basic Needs & Resource Matching program offers resource matching and financial assistance to those in need in the Lyons area. Each LEAF client in the Basic Needs program works with LEAF staff to help reach their goals of financial stability and self-reliance. LEAF staff act as advocates for the client, helping them match resources that are available to them.


Basic Needs & Resource Matching is available for anyone in the Greater Lyons area. Due to COVID constraints, we are not currently able to meet face-to-face. Please email Ellen to learn more about this resource or about COVID-19 or Gig Grants.
