About This Cause
The Emergency Family Assistance Association (EFAA) has served residents of Boulder County for over a century. EFAA began in 1918 when concerned citizens organized to provide relief to their neighbors facing the raging Spanish flu and the collapse of the local mining industry. EFAA was incorporated in 1953, received IRS tax-exempt status in 1962, and adopted our current name in 1977. In 1979 we expanded to include housing for families experiencing homelessness. In 2017, EFAA officially became a Family Resource Center. During the first year of the pandemic, EFAA was the leading provider of rental assistance in the County, both public and private. Throughout its existence, EFAA has provided a local safety net to households in need and has increasingly developed deeper programming to prevent homelessness, reduce poverty, and create a more equitable community.
