The Welfare Reform Board is tasked specifically with adopting policies, rules, and regulations regarding Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, a federal cash assistance program that is known as Colorado Works in our state, and the Child Care Assistance Program. It is composed of members selected by the mayor, members of city council, and workforce development and human services personnel.
The Welfare Reform Board meets quarterly, at a minimum, and monthly when agenda items are present.
All meetings are free and open to the public.
The agenda is available 21 days before each meeting. If you are a citizen and wish to comment, please arrive at least 10 minutes before the meeting to sign up to speak. You will be given three minutes to share your comments with the board at the end of the meeting. The public comments session is limited to five speakers based on a first-come, first-served basis.
If the board is considering a policy change, the public is also able to comment on that change before the board votes. To request a copy of the proposed policy change or to receive the agenda, send an email to Ginger.Vigil@denvergov.org.
