>> Dear CCDHHDB stakeholders,<br>
>> <br>
>> This email is a follow-up to our message on Wednesday about the Colorado<br>
>> Commission for the Deaf, Hard of Hearing and DeafBlind’s (CCDHHDB) services.<br>
>> A number of recipients were concerned that the CCDHHDB will be stopping<br>
>> services. We want to reassure you that is not the case.<br>
>> <br>
>> The CCDHHDB will be continuing to provide services in all program areas.<br>
>> Because we are receiving more service requests than expected for a few of<br>
>> our key programs, we have developed ways to prioritize which requests are<br>
>> filled for the Rural Auxiliary Services Program, DeafBlind Services/Support<br>
>> Services, and Legal Auxiliary Services Program. We will be communicating out<br>
>> the prioritization structure for each program to vendors and consumers of<br>
>> those programs soon.<br>
>> <br>
>> In addition, any new applications for the Communications Technology Program<br>
>> (CTP) will be put on hold until additional funding is available, as we have<br>
>> done in prior years. However, our federally funded programs — Colorado Early<br>
>> Hearing Detection and Intervention and the National DeafBlind Equipment<br>
>> Distribution Program/iCanConnect — will continue as normal.<br>
>> <br>
>> Please keep sending your service requests. We will be able to fill some<br>
>> requests. And for those that we cannot fill, it will be important for us to<br>
>> collect that data to better understand our community’s needs so we can work<br>
>> to address any service gaps for the future.<br>
>> <br>
>> This information is also posted on the<br>
