Thanks to Empower for their generosity in donating 500 cold weather kits! Empower held a day of community service where they invited the Coalition to give a brief talk and they put together 500 cold weather kits. With cold weather right around the corner, these kits are life saving items.

Thank you to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for visiting Colorado Coalition for the Homeless today to see our work in action! The unique SIPPRA (Social Impact Partnership Pay for Results Act) program provides funding to deliver permanent supportive housing to people experiencing chronic homelessness and suffering from frequent mental and behavioral health crises that require emergency care. This program aims to improve health outcomes and reduce Medicaid costs by improving access to primary and preventative healthcare services and supports in order to reduce avoidable high-cost healthcare services. Initial findings support what was learned through the previous Social Impact Bond (SIB) program—that connecting people with housing first ends the homelessness-jail cycle, reduces emergency healthcare costs, and is a better solution for both people and public budgets. This pilot program is being independently assessed by the Urban Institute who also joined for today's tour.

The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless recognizes the critical impact that the intersection of housing and other basic needs such as healthcare, employment, education, and transit has on the ability of people to exit homelessness, stay stably housed, and have a successful and meaningful life. Our latest issue brief discusses several issues that highlight the intersection of housing stability and transportation policies including transportation costs and access, transit-oriented development, and transit safety. https://lnkd.in/gfzDXSJE

In 2019, Colorado passed a bill that created Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) for Medicaid applicants. Colorado, along with six other states and Washington, D.C., are waiting for clarity from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services before implementing these programs. This delay is costing us time that we could be using to enable more Coloradans to participate in our democracy. No more delay: join CCH in the call on the Centers for Medicaid and Medicaid Services to act now to allow our states to begin registering voters at Medicaid. If Colorado begins Automatic Voter Registration at Medicaid, more than 428,000 eligible but unregistered Coloradans would become registered to vote. That's 428,000 more Coloradans receiving their ballot in the mail each election so they can make their voices heard. Add your name to this petition in saying no more delays: the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services must act to advance Automatic Voter Registration at Medicaid. https://lnkd.in/gn4h7v92
