Pueblo County DHS contracts with Crossroads Turning Point to provide collaborative management services
Summary
The Board approved a contract for Crossroads Turning Point to serve as fiscal agent and employment agency for Pueblo County's Collaborative Management Program, a state-funded effort to coordinate services for referred families with school-age children; no county funds or match were required.
Pueblo County commissioners on May 20 approved a contract for the Department of Human Services (DHS) to work with Crossroads Turning Point as fiscal agent and employment agency for the county's Collaborative Management Program.
County staff described the program as a state-funded effort that helps eligible, referred families with school-age children coordinate services across multiple systems to reduce duplication. The presenter said the contract is "100 state funding, that comes through. There are no county dollars and no county match, required for this program."
According to staff, Crossroads Turning Point will act as the fiscal agent and employer for the program staff who meet with referred families to coordinate services similar to a wraparound model. The board asked no substantive questions and approved the contract by voice vote.
The approval authorizes the county to enter into the agreement and continue program operations under the state funding; the meeting record did not include a line-item budget or specific performance targets for the contract.
