Colorado Programs for Children
The waiver chart listed above from the Colorado Department of Public health website is not all inclusive as it only includes waivers for children up to 18 years old and does not include grants for children or waivers for 18+.
Below is a link that contains grants but it is from one particular community centered board so it also contains waivers that are specific to the local area it serves and not provided by the whole state. Grants are for the children with special health care needs that don’t qualify for waivers because they are not medically fragile enough. They are also given to the medically fragile entering into the system before they have gone through the whole process of qualifying for a waiver.- https://imaginecolorado.org/services/imagine-funding-programs
