Dear Director Griego,
The Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Welfare is pleased to inform you that Weld County
OHS is being awarded Title IV -E Waiver Demonstration Project (Project) funding.
The total available funding for the SFY 2017-18 is S10M. There were 35 counties who applied for $16.5M to serve
children and families in 49 counties. Therefore, significant cuts were made to all applicant counties. Three filters
were used on all applicant total award amounts (total award amount equals the sum of all intervention and
intervention expansion requests):
• Requests were reduced to the projected year-end spending, or prior year closeout, whichever is highest;
• Requests were reduced for each intervention by the amount above a common cost-per-child/family
threshold;
Requests were reduced by proportion of total statewide budget after the other two filters.
To ensure a fair and equitable process, all applicant budgets were subjected to the same methodology. Follow up
contacts were made with each applicant county as needed for clarification.
Based on the allocation methodology, it was determined your county's portion of the available allocation is
S970,183.00.
In order to participate in this project, your county must submit a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed by
your county's commissioning body, by June 30, 2017. A blank copy of the MOO can be found in the IV -E Waiver
Application folder at: httes://sites.google.com/a/state.co.us/cdhs-dcw/for-orofessionals/forms. CDHS requests
that you submit a new budget in writing to Tyler Allen, Title iV-E Waiver Administrator, at tyter.atlen@state.co.us,
with or before the submission of your county's MOU. The total sum for all interventions and expansion projects
must not be greater than your award amount. This new budget, along with your original application, shall
constitute the item "Exhibit B", as identified in the MOU.
Please direct any questions you have about the award, budget revisions or MOU to Tyler Allen, Title IV -E Waiver
Administrator, at tyier.allen@state.co.usorat (303)-866-2154.
