New Yellowstone Ranch group home

Boulder’s Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch (YBGR) has broken ground on a new $1.8 million building, aiming to complete the new group home by late 2026. 

After building its first new group home two years ago, the organization’s new eight-bed facility will replace beds lost during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

“We expect construction to be completed toward the end of the year, with the home becoming operational shortly afterward,” said YBGR CEO Michael Chavers, adding that the organization is still deciding whether the new space will house boys or girls.
