Current narratives suggest that homelessness and housing crises are unsolvable problems. WellPower disagrees.

How does WellPower do this work? WellPower’s policy team is engaged with the Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Mental Health and the Colorado Language Access Coalition, and supports the work of these organizations through information sharing and legislative advocacy. Currently, our policy team is working with the state to improve the accessibility and information privacy of the Peak Portal’s BHA Community Services Funding application for immigrant communities.

Welcome back to WellPower's Legislative Priorities series, where we take you through what we're focused on as an organization in the 2025 legislative session. Thanks to the advocacy of many organizations, including WellPower, the state applied for and received a federal planning grant for the development of a CCBHC program in Colorado. The full realization of the CCBHC program in our state will mean a critical financial infusion for the social safety net, through an enhanced Medicaid match and prospective payment system. WellPower is closely monitoring the development of the CCBHC program, providing input to the state, and speaking with legislators about the importance of this funding.
