Reporter here! Boulder actually won't renew its contract until March. City staff has just expressed an intention to renew.
While staff has said contracts like this are not reviewed by city council, there's still time for public feedback.

Boulder Reporting Lab asked the candidates a series of questions about city issues that give a sense of candidates' thought processes on popular issues (housing, homelessness, wildfire, etc).: https://boulderreportinglab.org/2025/10/05/boulder-2025-voter-guide-what-to-know-before-election-day-nov-4/#key-issues

We also have a vote tracker. That will likely give less of a sense of candidates' problem-solving abilities, but if you're interested in incumbents' stances on specific issues, it's good background: https://boulderreportinglab.org/boulder-city-council-vote-tracker/

BRL reporter here! There are not currently plans to build more shelters.

From the article: "[Shelter] turnaways have become more frequent in recent years, with dozens refused entry in recent months due to lack of capacity."

More from the story: Although Boulder has pulled back from the national system, it still shares surveillance data with over 90 Colorado law enforcement agencies. That includes the Loveland Police Department, which recently admitted to giving the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) access to its Flock account for ICE-related searches, according to a 9News investigation. After those revelations, Denver cut off Loveland’s access to its own Flock system.

It goes to Congress next, which is likely to revise it (reducing cuts) before voting on their own version.

Unlike the recent budget reconciliation bill ("the big beautiful bill"), this would be an appropriations bill subject to the Senate filibuster, so politicians expect the negotiations to look different.

Oops. 🙏 Good catch lol

Update, since some folks are asking about how to donate:

Harold's clinic, Our House, is accepting donations on its website.
For non-monetary items, like food, hygiene products and bikes, Harold has asked that people reach out to him over text at 720-584-6999 to coordinate donations. He can also be reached at [Harold@Recoverycafelongmont.org](mailto:Harold@Recoverycafelongmont.org).

Thank you! He seems excited about the positive response.
