Colorado Long-Term Works Reserve from FY 2024-25 to FY 2028-29.

Staff. The CDHS requires 1.5 FTE to manage the program, including providing programmatic 
and fiscal oversight and providing technical support to the participants and community-based 
contractors. Contract management staff costs are prorated for an October 2024 start date, and 
all staff costs will continue through FY 2028-29. 
Program costs.  After administrative costs, approximately $1.9 million per year is expected to 
be available for the CDHS to contract community-based organizations for the distribution of 
short-term assistance to eligible program participants from FY 2024-25 to FY 2028-29.  
Centrally appropriated costs. Pursuant to a Joint Budget Committee policy, certain costs 
associated with this bill are addressed through the annual budget process and centrally 
appropriated in the Long Bill or supplemental appropriations bills, rather than in this bill. These 
costs, which include employee insurance and supplemental employee retirement payments, are 
shown in Table 2.  Page 3
