Will more than double programs, exhibit square footage

The Children’s Museum of Denver broke ground April 8 on a major museum expansion, announcing the plans, timeline and a naming gift for the $15.8 million campaign. Museum President and CEO Mike Yankovich cited the

“critical role” the museum plays in early childhood education, and its 74 percent attendance growth since 2003 as the need for this muchanticipated expansion. On a nine-acre campus, the museum will more than double the current indoor and outdoor program and exhibit square footage, and add considerable guest amenities and parking. The project is slated to be completed fall/winter

2015. To date, $13.3 million of the $15.8 million campaign goal has been raised. Eight new interactive exhibits, designed by the museum’s team of education experts, exhibit designers and community partners, are based on the museum’s core early learning focus areas of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), Health and Wellness, 21st Century Skills, Literacy and the

Arts. They include: a unique community tree welcome experience; a teaching kitchen; an art exhibit with clay and artist-in-residence studios; a whimsical dental health exhibit; a hands-in water laboratory; a kid-powered energy exhibit; a 3 ½ story climbing structure; and a year-round Colorado-themed outdoor experience. “The extraordinary contributions from community and civic

leaders, partners and funders have made this project possible,” said Yankovich. “The Children’s Museum of Denver will be the exceptional children’s museum this city deserves and it’s because of all our incredible supporters willing to invest in early learning.” Based on a longstanding commitment to initiatives and projects Continued on page 2

Dumb Friends League Furry Scurry dog walk Locally grown tradition returns on May 3 Mark your calendars for the Dumb Friends League Furry Scurry on Saturday, May 3. Washington Park will once again be going to the dogs for the return of this much-loved Denver tradition that brings together thousands of pets and people all for one common goal—to raise money for homeless animals in our community. This is the 21st year for the Furry Scurry—an event that has locally grown into the single largest dog walk not only in Colorado, but in the entire country. More than 12,000 people and 5,000 are expected to attend. “The Furry Scurry wouldn’t be what it is today without such

compassionate local support,” said Bob Rohde, president and CEO of the D u m b Friends League. “To see so many people c o m e together in celebration of the human-animal bond, and in support of homeless pets, is overwhelming and inspiring.” In addition to completing the two-mile walk around Washington Park, Furry Scurry participants and their four-legged friends can

m e e t adoptable pets and enjoy refreshments, contests, d e m onstrations and shopping for petfriendly goods and serv i c e s from more than 150 vendors and sponsors. The Dumb Friends League takes in an average of 55 homeless pets every day—more than 20,000 a year. Proceeds from Furry Scurry registration fees and donations help the League provide

shelter, medical care, behavior training, foster care, love and compassion to thousands of homeless animals each year, as well as fund programs that serve both pets and people in our community. Registration for the event is $50 per person and $25 for children 12 and younger, and includes a limited-edition Furry Scurry T-shirt. Individuals can register online in advance or on event day beginning at 7 a.m. Participants are encouraged to collect pledges from friends, family and co-workers to earn prizes.

Westwood’s Big Day of Serving is April 19 Councilman López, Extreme Community Makeover, Westwood residents organize youth-led volunteer initiative

On April 19, Councilman Paul D. López, Extreme Community Makeover, and the neighborhood organizations of Westwood Residents Association and Westwood Unidos will be participating alongside 300 youth volunteers in Westwood’s Big Day

of Serving. Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock will be kicking off the event and speaking to volunteers about the importance of giving back to their communities. Youth volunteers, alongside residents, will be cleaning alleys and graffiti, preparing a community garden for planting, and constructing a tile mural project, helping to revitalize the neighborhood blockby-block.

“The Big Day of Serving is a great way to get youth and residents participating. To see the longterm community change that we all want, people must stay involved in their community,” said Councilman López, who represents the area. For future community volunteer opportunities, contact Angela Bomgaars at 720-235-8847 or angela @extremecommunitymakeover. org, www.facebook.com/thebigday ofservingdenver.

Denver Public Library impacts millions in 2013 National Library Week April 13-19 puts spotlight on library’s importance The Denver Public Library racked up impressive numbers in 2013, including serving more than 4.3 million walk-in customers and 10.8 million online visitors, a report released this week announced. The 2013 Year in Review shines a light on the notable impact the Library has on the City of Denver as it celebrates National Library Week, April 13-19. In addition to record numbers of customers, circulation numbers were also up across the metro area with 9.8 million cir-

culated items including books, music and movies. Online collections such as e-books and e-audiobooks continue to grow with a 37 percent increase during the past year. “More impressive than the big numbers we posted in 2013 are the individuals we helped through our community impact goals,” said City Librarian Shirley Amore. “We served a record numbers of kids and families with our literacy programs. We helped countless job seekers, improved language skills and assisted business owners kick-starting new ventures. And, of course, we enriched our community through our collections and adult cultural programs and helped preserve the

history of the Rocky Mountain West.” The Library released the 2013 Year in Review to share its impact on the City of Denver. The report contains general statistics, budget and community impact results. A full version of the report is available on the Library’s website: http://www.denverlibrary.org/ content/facts-figures. First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries across the country each April. DPL is currently ranked in the top five library systems in the U.S. For more information, visit www.denverlibrary.org.

An update from the Capitol

By State Rep. Jeanne Labuda In November 2013, the citizens of Colorado voted to allow the legislature to raise or lower marijuana sales and excise taxes in the future without voter approval. The Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights requires the general assembly provide an estimate of the revenue that any program might bring in; having no experience in retail marijuana, and with no other state with experience, our legislative economists advised us that the tax increases might generate up to $70 million. The constitutional amendment mandates that the first $40 million of excise taxes collected by the state go toward school capital construction, with the rest going to the state to use for regulation and enforcement of the new marijuana laws. Revenue estimates have come in higher than the estimate that was placed on the ballot, as well as the amount estimated by our Legislative Council Staff that appeared in Colorado’s Blue Book, which pegged revenues at $67 million.

State Rep. Jeanne Labuda

Under TABOR, if the actual amounts for the first year the tax is in place exceed the state’s estimate, the state must refund the combined excess amount and reduce taxes proportionately in future years. The General Assembly could ask the voters if we can keep the dollars that come in above the original estimate, prevent the refund and subsequent tax rate reduction, and possibly use the excess funds for general fund purposes. Alternately, the state could lower taxes on marijuana to ensure

that revenues stay within in the estimate. Predicting how any new market is going to operate, especially one as unfamiliar as legalized marijuana is challenging, and revenue estimates are likely to continue to vary throughout the year as the market continues to normalize. TABOR is extremely complex, and this is just the latest example of its exceedingly complicated consequences. In just this year, we’ve seen TABOR inhibit flood recovery by local governments (not enough money to give immediate help), and now it’s creating a situation in which the state may have to reduce taxes on a product the people of Colorado already expressly approved taxation of. Our number one priority is the health and safety of Coloradans, especially Colorado’s kids. We will use the tax revenues generated from the retail sale of marijuana for its constitutionally required purpose (school capital construction), while using the rest to ensure that we have effective regulations and to keep marijuana out of the hands of kids.

Tax Freedom Day arrives in Colorado April 22 37th state to reach Tax Freedom Day

Colorado’s Tax Freedom Day, the day on which Coloradans have collectively earned enough income to pay off their total federal, state, and local tax bill, will arrive on April 22 this year, making it the 37th state to reach Tax Freedom Day. According to the annual report released this morning by the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, national Tax Freedom Day falls on April 21, three days later than last year. The states with the earliest Tax Freedom Days are Louisiana (March 30), Mississippi (April 2), and South Dakota (April 4). The latest dates fall in New Jersey (May 9), Connecticut (May 9), and New York (May 4).

The study’s key findings include

The national Tax Freedom

Day is three days later than last year due mainly to the continuing economic recovery, which will boost federal tax revenue collected through the corporate, payroll, and individual income tax. Americans will spend more on taxes in 2014 than they will on food, clothing, and housing combined. Americans will spend 42 days working to pay off income taxes, 15 days for excise taxes, and 11 days for property taxes. Americans will pay $3 trillion in federal taxes and $1.5 trillion in state and local taxes, for a total bill of more than $4.5 trillion, or 30.2 percent of the nation’s income. If you include annual federal borrowing, which represents future taxes owed, Tax Freedom Day would occur on May 6, 15 days later. Tax Freedom Day is a significant date for taxpayers and law-

makers because it represents how long Americans as a whole have to work in order to pay the nation’s tax burden. “Arguments can be made for why the collective tax bill is too high or too low, but in order to have an honest discussion, it’s important to understand where we stand,” said Tax Foundation Economist Kyle Pomerleau. “Tax Freedom Day gives us a vivid representation of how much we pay for the goods and services provided by governments at all levels.” Historically, the date for Tax Freedom Day has fluctuated significantly. The latest-ever nationwide Tax Freedom Day was May 1, 2000 – meaning that Americans paid 33 percent of their total income in taxes. A century earlier, in 1900, Americans paid only 5.9 percent of their income in taxes, meaning Tax Freedom Day came on Jan. 22.

Denver Public Schools hires educators with deferred action status Partnership with Teach For America allows new hires

The Denver Public Schools and Teach For America announced their partnership to hire promising Teach For America corps members with deferred action status to teach in the classroom. The partnership with DPS and Teach For America is made possible thanks to funding from the Ben and Lucy Ana Walton Fund of the Walton Family Foundation, Inc., which allows Teach For America to recruit, train and provide ongoing support for corps members with deferred action status. In 2013, Colorado was the first Teach For America region to recruit, train and support two Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients who were hired by DPS. The DACA directive, implemented on Aug. 15, 2012, offers undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. before the age of 16 – and who meet certain criteria –the opportunity to live and work in the U.S. “Our highest priority is to have

the best teachers in our classrooms. Nothing means more to the growth and success of our kids than the quality of their teachers,” said DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg. “Thanks to this partnership, we are now able to hire some very talented teachers who are committed to giving back to their community and who are an inspiration to our kids. These teachers often are bi-lingual or multi-lingual and have a deep personal understanding of the challenges that many of our students face who similarly came to this country in undocumented status as young children. We are grateful to Teach For America and the Ben and Lucy Ana Walton Fund for this partnership.” Thanks to the private funding, DPS and Teach For America will expand the program for the 20142015 school year to attract other talented educators with deferred action status in Denver’s classroom. All prospective Teach For America applicants must earn a

bachelor’s degree, with an undergraduate GPA of at least a 2.50. All Teach For America corps members in Colorado receive an alternate license issued by the Colorado Department of Education. After the first year, and through a program at CUDenver, TFA teachers are issued a traditional license. “Bringing in more teachers with deferred action status speaks

to the importance of equity and opportunity at Teach For America and Denver Public Schools,” said Alejandro Fuentes Mena, one of two Teach For America corps members with DACA status teaching in DPS. “The impossible that existed in my childhood is something that is plausible and a reality now. I now have the opportunity to impact my students and show them that they too can achieve at the highest levels.” Fuentes teaches fifth-grade English Language Arts at the Denver Center for International Studies at Ford, and the second Teach For America corps member on DACA status to be hired by DPS is Kareli Lizarraga, who teaches seventh-grade reading at STRIVE Prep – Sunnyside. “I think having teachers with deferred action status in the classroom is important for educational equity,” said Lizarraga. “Through this we are showing students with deferred action status that their story is valuable and that educa-

tion is the great equalizer. Providing students with teachers who share similar backgrounds and experiences is a testament to what is possible for them regardless of their immigration status.” Denver Public Schools is the fastest-growing urban school district in the country and is the largest school system in Colorado with 87,398 students. Roughly 72 percent of DPS students qualify for free and reduced lunch, and about one-third are English-language learners. Teach For America recruits top college graduates and careerchanging professionals to make an initial two-year commitment to teach in urban and rural public schools and become lifelong advocates for educational equity. Currently, 265 Teach For America corps member and nearly 900 alumni (including 345 teachers and 35 principals/system leaders) of the organization work in Denver and Colorado Springs Corps members are teaching in more than 80 schools in five districts statewide with Pueblo City Schools being added in the 201415 school year.

OPINION

– DENVER –

Looking back at life in rural America KINDLING

By Robert Sweeney

There are few places in the world that have such sudden changes in the weather. This past week the temperature went from the 70’s on Saturday to the midteens somewhere around 16 on Monday morning. Depending upon location that is a change in the weather of around 55 degrees in two days. Therefore the saying, “If you don’t like the weather in Colorado, stick around a few days,” comes to mind. Received some kind comments from friends and Villager readers about “Wintertime Memories” of growing up on that cattle ranch in far northwestern Colorado as a boy. The older I become, the more special those days become and what a privilege to have lived through some very pioneering and rustic times in American history. Kids in my generation didn’t have cellphones, televisions, skateboards and computers. We did have movies, soda pop and popcorn, and those things

were dirt cheap compared to today’s prices. Movies were 25 cents, and soda and popcorn were 10 cents each. Candy bars were a nickel and bubblegum was a new product at a penny for a piece of Bazooka. What fun to blow large pink bubbles with the exciting gum sold at the new corner Palace Drug Store in Craig. When the new drug store was under construction the block included an even larger building next door that would become the J.C. Penney store. Founded in Kemmer, Wyo., J.C. Penney was expanding across America as a hometown family clothing store. During construction they had huge excavated piles of dirt from the underground basement. After school, when the excavation ceased, we would have clod fights with the dirt and then play “King of The Mountain” to see who could remain on top of the gigantic hill of soft dirt. In the spring when the snow melted we would draw circles in the sandy school playground and play marbles. It was great fun and we took pride in our agate shooters and collections of marbles. I still have a friend today, Lee Heflebower, that has a wonderful marble collection that he cherishes. I’m always on the lookout for special marbles for him. The wind blew a lot in the springtime in Craig and we would buy kite kits to assemble and large balls of string so we could fly kites way up in the sky. “Go fly a kite” was a wonderful thing to do, and it took a certain degree of skill to launch and keep the kites

sailing high up into the blue sky. Some boys built model airplanes with real little engines that would fly. We also built model planes out of balsa wood that would glide across a lawn or empty lot. The roller skates buckled onto our shoes and we would skate for hours along the concrete downtown sidewalks. In the wintertime, we focused on the ice skating rink in city park and a nearby Fortification Creek that would sometimes flood for miles where we could skate up and down the creek bed. No one ever drowned and the creek bed was very shallow. Boys and girls would skate until dark in the subzero days burning an old rubber tire to keep our feet warm putting the skates against the smoldering rubber tire that emitted a foul smelling black smoke but they would burn for hours. Our feet would get so cold we would often skate home on the icy streets because we were too cold to change shoes. We would go sledding on some of the steeper residential streets in town and this went well for years until a young girl was killed when a car hit her sled. This led to the construction of a sledding hill called Cathy Cisar Hill, but the sledding wasn’t good because of the lack of the hard snow pack. But, city fathers put in a rope tow and we changed to skiing down the hill. This was a prelude to traveling the 42 miles to Steamboat Springs where Howelson Hill was a real ski venue with a T-Bar lift.

If you play in the snow and cold weather, it becomes habit and we all just adapted. It snowed a lot, days were always cold, and we hated wearing those black buckle rubber overshoes to keep our feet and shoes dry. I really led two lives, one living on the ranch 30 miles from town and the other attending Craig schools when my mother accepted a position as a third grade teacher in the school system. She remained in the school system for 45 years. We moved from the ranch into town for the winter months when I started first grade. We went back to the ranch on the weekends and every summer. Moving to town was a huge change in my life, having other children to play with was wonderful. We had a furnace, running water, a telephone and a grocery store a few blocks away. There was the West Theatre that had three different movies each week and Roy Rogers and Gene Autry films on a Saturday matinee. The movie had a money night on Tuesday and Mr. Stanfill was the manager. His son Bill is active in events at the University of Denver today. There were two drug stores that sold comic books and each had a soda fountain where they served great malts and milk shakes in stainless steel containers. Soda fountain cherry Cokes and the waitresses were the sharpest girls in high school. Life was good in rural America.

Servicios de La Raza hosts Raíces Latinas: The Roots of Our Community Gala Five community members honored for service

Servicios de La Raza held its Second Annual Raíces Latinas: The Roots of Our Community Gala on April 5 for dedicated staff, friends and supporters. The gala, which was held at the Double Tree Hilton Grand Ballroom in Denver, honored community members making a difference. More than 600 people gathered to celebrate five honorees and their commitment to service: Anne Smith, Eugene Lucero, Dr. Luis Torres, Mile High United Way and Grupo Tlaloc. To learn more about the awardees, visit www.serviciosgala. org. During the event, Executive Director Rudy Gonzales highlighted the wide range of comprehensive services offered, including mental health counseling, a food and clothing bank, domestic violence victim advocacy, case management for individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS, vocational and educational empowerment of youth, and health care coverage. More than $40,000 was raised for Servicios de La Raza, a 42-year-old community based organization, which provides and advocates for culturally responsive essential human services. The Second Annual Raíces Latinas: The Roots of Our Community Gala was a great opportunity for community members to learn what Servicios de La Raza has done and has to offer. “I am grateful for the leadership Rudy exemplifies, and truly honored to be a part of this organization that assists people in overcoming the range of problems that result from a lack of resources and perpetuates the cycle of poverty,” said Michael Sawaya, president of the Board for Servicios de La Raza and principal at The Sawaya Law Firm. Servicios de La Raza, currently located at 40th and Tejon Street in north Denver, anticipates moving to a new location this year. The new space will allow Servicios to continue to expand and better serve the community. To learn more about this incredible organization, visit www. serviciosdelaraza.org.

The award winners at the Servicios Gala were Anne Smith, recipient of the Community First Award; Donna and Carlos Castañeda of Grupo Tlaloc, recipients of the Cultura Cura Award; Benny Samuels of Mile High United Way, who received the Community Builder Award; Eugene Lucero, Unsung Hero Award, and Dr. Luis Torres, who received the Las Raices Award.

Submitted by Chuck Montera The metro Denver real estate market is being described as smoking hot after consecutive months of near record home sales. Seniors, who often have ample equity in their homes, are one of the groups benefitting from the current sellers market. “The increase of seniors calling Clermont Park home can be directly tied to a robust real estate market,” said Clermont Park Retirement Community Sales Director Nicole Pollard. “Selling their homes gives them the capital to move, but the challenge then becomes what to do with a lifetime of possessions and how to downsize for their move.” To help answer these questions, Clermont Park is hosting a free moving/ downsizing program on Thursday, April 17 from 1 – 3:30 p.m. Senior move specialist Darcy Barnhill, owner of Senior Life Space, will provide tips and advice on how to plan, organize and downsize prior to moving. “We suggest to clients take what you love or is irreplaceable and take what you still use and have room for,” said Barnhill. “Moving into a new community can be a mix of emotions from feeling excited to feeling overwhelmed.” According to Barnhill, organizing possessions by sorting what to keep; what goes to family members; what should be sold/donated; and what can be thrown away is key. “Often times the hardest part of downsizing is starting the process. We help seniors and their adult children get motivated and provide a roadmap that can guide them the entire way. We created our company to provide a comprehensive, coordinated and caring process for later life moves,” said Barnhill. “My husband Sam and I started Senior Life Space out of the great love for my grandfather ‘Grandpa Eddie,’ who lived to 95 years of age. Helping him downsize, witnessing elder care issues through his eyes, and caring for his transitions prompted us to meet this need in our community,” added Barnhill. Clermont Park Retirement Community is located at 2479 S. Clermont St., Denver. Call 720-974-3801 to RSVP as seating is limited.

Your Weekly Horoscope – By Gren Chatworth ARIES (March 21 – April 19) You have all the chances in the world right now, to achieve anything you wish, but you must be cautious in your feelings with other people. Follow the golden rule.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22) Try and break away from things that are holding you back from leading a full life. This week looks, as it will herald a new period of hope and fulfillment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21) A romantic and pleasant interlude is coming up fast in the solar chart for Sagittarius. Don’t be swept off your feet by this exciting aspect. Let calm reasoning prevail.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) This week promises to be a real eye-opener as rare twists of fate can result in thunderbolts for either good or ill. Emphasize tranquil feels as romance can be on shaky ground.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22) Gear up for fortunate waters in your line of work. Do not let the high waves force you to lose your direction. It would seem right to ask for a raise or greater benefits.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) Astrologically you have the chance now to grow both spiritually and mentally. This can be a highlight of your life. You should make the most of this, as it won’t happen again for some time.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20) Get off the emotional rollercoaster. Be the master of your moods instead of letting them master you. Steer clear of get rich quick schemes. Accent thrift and economy.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 22) You may be undergoing some new conceptions of life at this time. It would be best to make any necessary changes now, rather than waiting until later on. May be undergoing some new conceptions

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18) Family life is the utmost importance for you. Try to communicate through the electronics and spend more time with your home life. Being too stressed out will take its toll.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22) A definite ‘move’ of some kind is indicated for most persons born in the sign of Cancer. This will probably take the form of moving from one house or apartment to another.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21) The only possible poor aspect to your sign right now is that dealing with legal matters. It would be very wise to leave all decisions in the hands of a good legal advisor.

PISCES (Feb 19 – March 20) The only problem that astrology has for you now, is that something may appear to be ‘snatched away from you.’ This is not actually the case. You will gain in many ways from this apparent loss.

Honeybee swarm season is nearly upon us Contact Swarm Hotline if you see one Mid-April to late June is a typical time for honeybee swarm season in Colorado. “We will be expecting swarms to emerge in the next couple of weeks,” said to Beth Conrey, president of the Colorado State Beekeepers Association. CSBA, a statewide organization of beekeepers, is dedicated to honey bee health. For the sixth year, they are running the “Swarm Hotline” and are asking folks to keep an eye out for swarming honeybees. A swarm is one of the true wonders of nature. Swarms emerge in the spring when a healthy hive becomes too crowded and part of them leave to form a new hive. When the queen lands on a branch or post, the rest of the bees all land near her forming a “ball of bees.” Swarms are harmless — but can be intimidating to the average citizen. Conrey said, “Do not spray a swarm with water or insecticide. Simply pick up the phone and call the swarm hotline. We will dispatch a beekeeper to pick it up—usually within an hour.” Swarms are not only a fascinating natural process of honeybee reproduction, they are a sign of something promising: healthy honeybees in Colorado. The health and well being of honeybees has been in jeopardy since 2006. Beekeepers began reporting losses of 30-90 percent

of their hives, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The bees were just gone without a trace, leaving behind a puzzle that has a label, Colony Collapse Disorder. Bee scientists say there’s no single explanation for CCD: it’s just everything that bees are exposed to these days: pests, pathogens, pesticides, and the lack of floral diversity. As Earth Day approaches the CSBA wants to make people more aware of the important link between healthy honeybee populations, human interaction, and our food supply. According to the National Resources Defense Council, bees pollinate more than $15 billion worth of crops each year in the United States alone. Put another way, one of every three bites of food Americans consume comes from a plant visited by bees or other pollinators. Without bees, many fruits, vegetables and nuts (especially almonds) would disappear from our diets. There are thousands of managed bee colonies in Colorado and they are typical of colonies throughout the country with losses in the 30-70 percent range annually. Bees that are healthy enough to swarm are called “survivor” bees and are crucial to sustaining bee populations in Colorado.

More kids in Colorado gain Medicaid and CHP+ coverage The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing announced April 10 it has enrolled more than 22,700 children since Oct. 1, 2013, who were previously eligible for Medicaid or Child Health Plan Plus, but had not yet enrolled in coverage. Medicaid and CHP+ are free or low cost public health insurance programs for Coloradans who qualify. Since Oct. 1, more than 14,450 new children have enrolled in Medicaid. Additionally, more than 8,250 new children are now receiving coverage through CHP+. This increase in enrollment is a result of multiple outreach and awareness efforts at the state and local level, including improvements to the online application process for Medicaid and CHP+. All children enrolled in Medicaid and CHP+, including these previously eligible children, will receive 12 months of continuous eligibility coverage even

if their family’s income or household size changes. The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing has partnered with the Department of Human Services to send letters to Coloradans who receive food assistance and let them know they may also be eligible for Medicaid coverage. Now more than 4,600 children and 12,000 adults currently receiving food assistance are receiving health care coverage through Medicaid or CHP+. Unlike private health insurance, Medicaid and CHP+ do not have an open enrollment period; Coloradans can apply at any time to find out if they qualify. Applications can be completed online at Colorado. gov/PEAK, over the phone, in-person at your county office or by mail. For more information about Medicaid and CHP+ visit Colorado.gov/HCPF and to find out more about health care coverage options visit Colorado.gov/Health.
