Describe how the State agency is coordinating with TANF/GA programs, services, partners, and/or activities. Describe any TANF/GA special initiatives targeting specific populations and any actions taken to coordinate with these efforts. CDHS coordinates closely between the EF program and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, known as Colorado Works, to ensure streamlined services for work-eligible clients. All TANF clients receiving SNAP benefits are eligible to participate in EF regardless of their involvement in TANF’s Work Development Program (WDP). Those co-enrolled in both EF and TANF WDP maintain separate plans for each program and may receive case management services from one or both programs. This dual enrollment allows TANF clients to access EF’s job retention services upon securing employment, enhancing support across programs. Additionally, TANF clients who volunteer can participate in EF workfare activities, which provide initial site placements that serve as opportunities to assess and build job readiness skills. This integrated approach supports TANF clients in gaining meaningful work experience while progressing toward long-term employment. Coordination between TANF and EF is further strengthened by their administration under the same division within CDHS, the Division of Economic and Workforce Support (DEWS). This structure enables staff cross-training and aligns public assistance work programs at the county level, fostering administrative collaboration to meet shared goals and serve overlapping populations effectively. Although TANF and EF differ in funding streams, mandates, and program requirements, Colorado leverages their commonalities by sharing workforce development expertise and employment resources to maximize participant outcomes. While no specific TANF/General Assistance (GA) special initiatives are detailed here, Colorado’s integrated service delivery model, including co-enrollment and workfare options, reflects an intentional coordination strategy to serve TANF populations comprehensively through SNAP E&T and related employment programs. Describe how the State agency is coordinating its SNAP E&T program with any other Federal or State employment program (e.g. HUD, child support, re-entry, refugee services). The CDHS coordinates its EF program closely with a variety of Federal and State employment programs to provide comprehensive, wrap-around services to clients. EF refers and/or co-enrolls clients into complementary programs as appropriate to meet their individual employment needs and goals. These programs include: Veteran Programs: Operated by the U.S. Department of Labor, these programs offer specialized job search support for veterans and their spouses, including individualized career coaching and access to resources through local workforce centers. Vocational Rehabilitation: This program provides services tailored to individuals with disabilities, such as case management, job skills training, supportive payments, pre-employment transition services, and physical and mental restoration services to enhance employability. ReHire Colorado: Clients facing employment barriers are placed in transitional employment opportunities designed to prepare them for sustainable, long-term employment. Supportive payments are also provided to assist with employment-related needs. To strengthen collaboration and improve client outcomes, EF Program Operators and the State E&T team maintain ongoing partnerships with these employment programs. They hold monthly technical assistance meetings, quarterly forums, and ad hoc discussions to develop coordinated strategies and referral protocols. This structured coordination ensures seamless client referrals, promotes co-enrollment, and leverages shared expertise across programs. 10
