- About the initiative
-
Senate Bill 21-239, signed by Governor Jared Polis in June 2021, appropriated funds for the Colorado Department of Human Services to contract with 211 Colorado to hire and train staff to offer behavioral health navigation services. Available in all 64 counties, 211 Colorado is a confidential and multilingual service that assists people with navigating more than 7,500 health and human service resources statewide.
The $1 million appropriation funds the services and an advertising campaign to market the service to unemployed Coloradans, including Coloradans of color and LGBTQ+ Coloradans—groups that have historically faced barriers in accessing behavioral health care.
