Next-Steps
What do you think this Collective could create? Do you see the advocacy steps that you think should be taken?
Possible Part Day
The CDEC is drafting a rules package for a half-day licensed option, which will require 1:5 ratios, and an emergency shelter building (not a licensed facility). the Working Group will review and engage in revisions with the proposed rule set once it is released.
Possible Pilot 2.0
This CO Collective has a sub-committee of folks from across the state who are working on introducing legislation at the state. If this bill can be drafted, co-sponsored, and amended with a fiscal note this legislative session - then it would enable this work to be funded and developed further, The potential for a more robust & inclusive pilot is made possible by funding positions for state agencies to support his work.
