Improve Access to HCBS

The Need

The Department has identified several underserved populations in HCBS programs, including individuals with disabilities living on tribal lands, those who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), and individuals with behavioral health needs. As a state focused on meeting the needs of all Coloradans, ensuring access across all populations through disability and culturally competent, whole-person care is a key priority for the Department.
