DCHI Executive Committee Meeting - July 9, 2026

The Douglas County Colorado DCHI Executive Committee meeting on July 9, 2026, focused primarily on updates related to homelessness initiatives, specialty courts, and community resource programs. Key procurement-related discussions included a planned application for $528,000 in funding through the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative (MDHI) for street outreach salaries supporting five heart navigators. The committee also discussed the expansion of the Link transportation service, with a contract to be presented to the Board of County Commissioners for approval to launch service in Castle Rock, connecting it to Lone Tree and Castle Pines. This expansion aims to address transportation barriers for vulnerable populations, including those experiencing homelessness. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed, but the meeting highlighted ongoing and upcoming funding requests and service expansions that will involve procurement actions. Additionally, presentations covered specialty courts designed to address underlying issues such as mental health and substance use disorders, which may influence future service contracts and community partnerships.
