State supported employment services

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment $150,000 on October 1, 2025, under the Supported Employment Services for Individuals with the Most Significant Disabilities program (CFDA 84.187). The award funds supported employment services delivered to individuals with the most significant disabilities through collaborative programs involving public and private nonprofit organizations. Performance runs through September 30, 2026, with work performed in Denver, Colorado. The Supported Employment State Grants program provides formula-based supplemental funding to state vocational rehabilitation agencies to assist VR consumers with the most significant disabilities in achieving supported employment as an employment outcome. Grant awards are made to states with an approved supported employment supplement to the VR services portion of the Unified or Combined State Plan.
