Build provider network capacity, credentialing, and community readiness for HFW implementation, and
Ensure quality care through monitoring of client outcomes, program fidelity, spending, and provider credentialing.
The Colorado Department of Human Services will administer the project, sub-awarding portions to regional Behavioral Health Administrative Service Organizations, a non-profit behavioral health network, and a consulting firm to support cultural competency efforts.
