Community Resources

Need support?

offers a positive channel to share observations from your neighborhood that could benefit from support from CU's Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations office. Our focus is to use peer mentorship and community building, instead of sanctioning, to educate our students and open up dialogue to help them be good neighbors in their off-campus communities.

It is important to note that utilizing this form will not initiate ticketing from Boulder Police or involvement by Student Conduct & Conflict Resolution. It also will not initiate an immediate intervention from Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations. We certainly appreciate our Boulder neighbors using this form as an alternative to channels like police interaction but acknowledge that some off-campus incidents are better suited for the police to handle. The Boulder Police can be reached for non-emergencies at 303-441-3333.
