Social services reports drop in LEAP applications; provides detailed caseload counts
Summary
Dolores County reported 87 LEAP applications processed this year (down from 117) and gave a breakdown of caseloads across child welfare, APS, child support, Employment First, Medicaid and SNAP programs.
Melinda reported the county has processed 87 LEAP applications so far this year, down from 117 the prior year. She attributed the decline to the loss of outreach funding that previously paid for client outreach, application help and advertising: "We didn't get this outreach money that we had received in years past," she said.
She provided a detailed caseload breakdown: one ongoing child-welfare case and one child-welfare investigation; a recently closed APS case; 48 child support cases; total eligibility-program cases listed as 5 with six pending; four adult financial cases; three behavioral health cases; two Colorado Works pending cases; 124 Employment First cases; 269 Medicaid cases; and 117 SNAP cases. Board members used the counts to frame resource and outreach discussions going forward.
