The economic impact of COVID-19 has left Colorado with an anticipated revenue shortfall of over $3.2 billion for the next fiscal year (July 2020-June 2021). Because of this, the Colorado Department of Human Services has asked BIAC to reduce our contract budget by 15%.
Every effort has been made to avoid reducing services to our clients, however we will need to furlough (time off without pay) some staff beginning July and into early August, and this will impact our services for this period of time.
Unless otherwise noted, for assistance on the following, please call 1-800-955-2443 or email Info@BIAColorado.org.
