Family First

The Family First Prevention Services Act (Family First), passed in 2018, has transformed child welfare by funding services that strengthen families and reduce the need for child welfare involvement. Colorado supports this shift as it aligns with our longstanding commitment to keeping families together through dedicated community support.

Parental Fees

Title IV-E is an entitlement program allowing the State to draw down federal funds on a percentage basis for each dollar spent on specific services for eligible children either placed out of the home or at risk of being placed out of the home.
