CFC Council Purpose 

The Community First Choice (CFC) Council is in place to collaborate with and advise the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) on the design and implementation of a CFC option in Colorado. This option will improve access to home and community-based services. The CFC Council primarily consists of individuals with disabilities, those 65 years or older, and their representatives. The experience and expertise of the council will help ensure that CFC is implemented in a way that best meets the needs of Coloradoans with disabilities. To achieve this goal, the council will support HCPF by identifying key challenges, sharing insights, and finding solutions that best support the implementation and development of a sustainable CFC Option in Colorado. 

The CFC Council is required by the Code of Federal Regulation 42 CFR 441.575. This requirement aligns with HCPF's philosophy that services and supports must be developed in partnership with those who utilize the services.
