STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, CO – Representative Meghan Lukens today toured local nonprofit, Better Tomorrow, to learn more about their community-led efforts to support Coloradans at risk of harm.
“Meeting with the team at Better Tomorrow was inspiring, thank you for having me,” said Rep. Meghan Lukens, D-Steamboat Springs. “Their community-driven support helps Coloradans get connected to the resources they need, when they need it. Under the gold dome, and thanks to lawmakers like Majority Leader Monica Duran, we’ve invested more than ever before to support survivors of crime and domestic violence. From securing stable housing to legal representation, we know our community partners work tirelessly to keep the lights on and the doors open so they can continue to provide essential services to youth, survivors and their families.”
During the 2024 legislative session, Rep. Lukens sponsored bipartisan legislation to create a program to provide short-term financial assistance for survivors of domestic or sexual violence. Specifically, the law helps survivors secure housing.
Better Tomorrow manages four programs, Advocates of Routt County, Brighter World Child Advocacy Center, COMMA Projects, and Queer Futures, to provide support to youth, families and survivors of crime.
