The Douglas County Colorado DCHI Executive Committee meeting on May 14, 2026, focused primarily on homelessness initiatives, human services programs, and opioid settlement funding. Key procurement-related discussions included an overview of the opioid council's current $1.4 million RFP for community providers to apply for funding aimed at prevention, treatment, recovery, and long-term wellness programs related to opioid use disorder. The committee also discussed the success of the HART team’s outreach efforts, including the implementation of a texting platform to improve response times, and reviewed the "Handouts Don't Help" campaign signage with considerations for future updates. Human services provided detailed updates on SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, child care assistance (CCAP), and child support programs, highlighting partnerships with local nonprofits and emphasizing the importance of collaborative funding and service delivery. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were announced, but the opioid settlement RFP represents a significant procurement opportunity for community organizations.
