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>>> <<a href="https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=17e88f0376&e=468754e603" target="_blank">https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=17e88f0376&e=468754e603</a>><br>>> CCDHHDB website.<br>>> <br>>> If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at<br>>> <mailto:<a href="mailto:mindy.gates@state.co.us" target="_blank">mindy.gates@state.co.us</a>> <a href="mailto:mindy.gates@state.co.us" target="_blank">mindy.gates@state.co.us</a>.<br>>> <br>>> Mindy Gates<br>>> Deputy Director<br>>> Office of Adult, Aging and Disability Services<br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <<a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/OOUInS607twsvpvc0GF30Y7HEdoxRzSBTXFSRGhLSgWaqhmqLl-o8TWlB9Fi_Mg-cIbvEqmb9-Ra_EOG2CyCTQKtBsIE9THs956C66l7-UwwJy2dRHhKdDOiAkS54CztR7gA2XOs" target="_blank">https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/OOUInS607twsvpvc0GF30Y7HEdoxRzSBTXFSRGhLSgWaqhmqLl-o8TWlB9Fi_Mg-cIbvEqmb9-Ra_EOG2CyCTQKtBsIE9THs956C66l7-UwwJy2dRHhKdDOiAkS54CztR7gA2XOs</a>><br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <mailto:<a href="mailto:mindy.gates@state.co.us" target="_blank">mindy.gates@state.co.us</a>> <a href="mailto:mindy.gates@state.co.us" target="_blank">mindy.gates@state.co.us</a> I<br>>> <<a href="https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=e3dd3b12b3&e=468754e603" target="_blank">https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=e3dd3b12b3&e=468754e603</a>><br>>> <a href="http://cdhs.colorado.gov" target="_blank">cdhs.colorado.gov</a><br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <<a href="https://mcusercontent.com/44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03/images/1cf41361-a66b-42d6-ae4f-d83d4be9aa7b.png" target="_blank">https://mcusercontent.com/44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03/images/1cf41361-a66b-42d6-ae4f-d83d4be9aa7b.png</a>><br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <<a href="https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=8204725147&e=468754e603" target="_blank">https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=8204725147&e=468754e603</a>><br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <<a href="https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=618939018e&e=468754e603" target="_blank">https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=618939018e&e=468754e603</a>><br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <<a href="https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=d4bddf778d&e=468754e603" target="_blank">https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=d4bddf778d&e=468754e603</a>><br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <<a href="https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=4ed1d1b4e4&e=468754e603" target="_blank">https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=4ed1d1b4e4&e=468754e603</a>><br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <<a href="https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=06ab086824&e=468754e603" target="_blank">https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=06ab086824&e=468754e603</a>><br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> <br>>> This email was sent to <mailto:<a href="mailto:doula.jarboe@gmail.com" target="_blank">doula.jarboe@gmail.com</a>><br>>> <a href="mailto:doula.jarboe@gmail.com" target="_blank">doula.jarboe@gmail.com</a><br>>> <<a href="https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/about?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=6d30a9140c&e=468754e603&c=7f3eb4cf34" target="_blank">https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/about?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=6d30a9140c&e=468754e603&c=7f3eb4cf34</a>><br>>> why did I get this?<br>>> <<a href="https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=6d30a9140c&e=468754e603&c=7f3eb4cf34" target="_blank">https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=6d30a9140c&e=468754e603&c=7f3eb4cf34</a>><br>>> unsubscribe from this list<br>>> <<a href="https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/profile?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=6d30a9140c&e=468754e603&c=7f3eb4cf34" target="_blank">https://colorado.us3.list-manage.com/profile?u=44d99e91254ef7d2bb23b5e03&id=6d30a9140c&e=468754e603&c=7f3eb4cf34</a>><br>>> update subscription preferences<br>>> CDHS -
