The Weld Trust will support efforts by organizations or collaborations that address the needs of the most vulnerable populations experiencing housing instability.
Behavioral and Physical Health

The Weld Trust will fund the development of programs for youth in Weld County that focus on mental wellness and will fund crisis intervention resources and services.
