HB26-1075 Child Welfare Prevention Services Funding
Summary
Colorado HB26-1075 would increase funding for county child welfare prevention services by changing the source of reimbursement money transmitted to the Colorado child abuse prevention trust fund. Under current law, funds are distributed through a competitive grant process; the bill would redirect money received by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood from the federal Title IV-E prevention services clearinghouse. The bill also continues the trust fund and Colorado child abuse prevention board indefinitely, which were previously scheduled to repeal on July 1, 2027.
“The bill continues the trust fund and board indefinitely.”
What changed
HB26-1075 proposes to redirect federal Title IV-E reimbursement money for prevention services from the current competitive grant process to direct funding through the Colorado Department of Early Childhood. The bill also removes the scheduled July 1, 2027 repeal date for the Colorado child abuse prevention trust fund and the Colorado child abuse prevention board, making both permanent.
County governments and child welfare prevention program providers in Colorado should monitor this bill's progress through the House Health & Human Services and Appropriations committees. If enacted, the shift from competitive grants to direct distributions could affect funding certainty and grant application processes for organizations currently receiving trust fund money.
