Community Partners

Arapahoe County’s mission is to enhance the quality of life of residents through exceptional delivery of services and efficient use of public funds. One avenue to fulfill this mission is the Aid to Agencies program. The grant program focuses the County’s limited resources on behavioral and mental health, homelessness, seniors and domestic violence services. Each year, the County Board of Commissioners approves more than 20 applications in these areas, in amounts ranging from $10,000 to $300,000 per grant. Arapahoe County also supports the community through Community Development Block Grants, job training and apprenticeship programs, food assistance and many other initiatives designed to improve the quality of life for all County residents.
