The Human Resource Grant Program was established in 1981 as a component of
the then Larimer County Department of Human Development. Human
Resource funds were derived from general fund dollars from the City of Fort
Collins, the City of Loveland, and Larimer County. Previous to Human
Development's acquiring the management of the Human Resource Grant
Program, each of the three participating governments administered their own
human service grant programs. In 1999, funds were derived from the City of
Fort Collins and Larimer County general funds and the allocation process was
redesigned to coincide with the United Way funding cycle.
In calendar year 1999, via two six month contracting periods, the Human
Resource Grant Program allocated funds to forty three agencies and programs
throughout Larimer County. The total amount allocated was $484,600. The City
of Fort Collins contributed $369,781 . Larimer County's contribution was $116,669.
Funding recommendations are made by the Human Resource Committee. The
Committee is comprised of nine members representing Larimer County, and the
City of Fort Collins. Committee members representing the City of Fort Collins are
members of the Human Relations Commission.
