The Clear Creek County 2024 Wildfire Risk Reduction Grant Program is a cost-share initiative designed to mitigate wildfire risks within Clear Creek County, Colorado. This program aims to build upon existing wildfire mitigation investments made by homeowners, providing crucial financial support for hazardous fuels reduction projects. The core mission of this grant program aligns directly with community safety and environmental protection by proactively addressing the threat of wildfires. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are homeowners in Clear Creek County. The program's impact goals center on enhancing the safety and resilience of residential properties and the broader community by reducing the ignitability of structures, removing hazardous trees, and improving evacuation routes. By offering financial assistance, the program seeks to empower homeowners to undertake essential mitigation efforts that might otherwise be cost-prohibitive. The program's priorities and focus areas include the creation of defensible space around homes, the removal of hazard trees, the establishment of fuel breaks to slow wildfire spread, and improvements to evacuation routes through tree removal. These specific focuses are designed to directly address the most critical factors contributing to wildfire risk in the region, ensuring that funding is directed towards high-impact activities. Expected outcomes and measurable results include a significant reduction in wildfire risk across participating properties, a decrease in the potential for structural damage during wildfire events, and improved safety for residents during emergencies. While specific metrics are not detailed in the provided text, the emphasis on "hazardous fuels reduction projects" and "creating defensible space" implies a measurable reduction in fuel load and an increase in the survivability of homes. The funding structure, allowing applicants to request up to 50% of project costs with a maximum of $5,000, indicates a strategy to incentivize broad participation and ensure project feasibility for homeowners.
