The Department of Human Services Colorado received a $393,726 Formula Grant award from the Administration on Aging under the Developmental Disabilities Basic Support and Advocacy Grants program (CFDA 93.630) for the fiscal period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. This funding supports the development and implementation of a comprehensive system of services and activities designed to enable individuals with developmental disabilities to achieve independence, productivity, and full community integration in Colorado.

Under this award, the Department of Human Services Colorado delivers critical advocacy and support services including legal advocacy, rights protection, benefits counseling, assistive technology support, community integration initiatives, investigation of abuse and neglect, and voting access facilitation. The department typically leverages these funds through direct service delivery and strategic sub-awards to local non-profit organizations, county governments, and community service providers throughout the state. The program emphasizes enhancing self-determination and personal growth for individuals with developmental disabilities while ensuring protection of their legal and human rights within the broader Colorado service delivery system.
