Eastern Colorado Services For The Developmentally Disabled is the Logan County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Week. Receiving the honor are: Executive Director Rhonda Roth, Community Supports Director Leeah Key, Finance Director Kasha Sheets, and Human Resources Director Dave Fast.
.....Eastern Colorado Services for the Developmentally Disabled, Inc. (ECSDD) started over 40 years ago.
.....A group of parents determined to have their loved ones receive services outside of an institutional setting fought hard on a state and local level to help receive funding to start services for intellectually and developmentally disabled children and adults in Northeastern Colorado. The mission was and continues to “Enhance the lives of individuals with varying abilities within their community.” These parents, along with community leaders established ECSDD and, as a result, preschool, residential and day program options to become available in Sterling.
.....ECSDD is a private nonprofit agency and serves 10 counties in northeastern Colorado. They are governed by an 11 member Board of Directors that represent these counties. Their Management Team includes Rhonda Roth-Executive Director, Dave Fast-Human Resources Director, Leeah Key-Community Supports Director, Lori Araujo-Case Management Director and Kasha Sheets-Finance Director. The Management Team has combined experience of over 80 years with ECSDD.
.....In Sterling, ECSDD opened several residential facilities, a day program and preschool. They continue to provide services in Sterling through six group homes and staffed apartments. ECSDD contracts with several Host Home Providers, they provide residential services in their home and are an important part of the individual’s team.
.....They also offer two day programs that focus on meeting identified goals of each individual. ECSDD works closely with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, not only supporting their people receiving services, but members of the community, too.
.....Finding employment and receiving support to succeed in long term employment is on the top of their list of many they serve. Their day program and job coach work with community businesses to find the right fit and offer support to each individual to make this happen. They also offer shredding services and lawn care throughout our Sterling community through Logan Industries.
.....Their Early Intervention Program works with children from birth through age two and their families when there are delays in cognition, motor abilities, sensory losses, social emotional development or self-help skills. Their service coordinators are diligent in assuring children are identified, screened and evaluated, partnering with school districts, the health department, medical professionals and social services. Participating families receive information and training on strategies to maximize their child’s development by accessing a variety of specialty and professional services.
.....Their case managers are very knowledgeable in all services including the Children’s Habilitation Residential Program, Children’s Extensive Support Waiver and Family Services and Supports that provide services to individuals that meet the requirements of each program.
.....ECSDD employs 100 full-time employees, Direct Care Professionals, Case Managers, Early Intervention Service Coordinators and Administrative Staff in Sterling. ECSDD provides extensive on the job training and excellent benefits to their team members.
.....If you are interested in hearing more about the services they offer or employment opportunities please contact Rhonda Roth, Executive Director at 970-522-7121 or see www.easterncoloradoservices.org.

Childhood Mental Health
Life as we’ve known it has changed so much in so many ways this past year. Even for us who are experienced in dealing with stress and crisis, it’s been a challenge. Of course, our larger concern is what will be the impact of COVID on our children e.g. as it pertains to their mental health.

Strengthening ESI
The vital nature of employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) has never been more clear. For the more 180 million Americans and their families who depend on this important program, their benefits are a lifeline to preventative services, tailored benefits and coverage
for essential care. We can’t lose sight of the fact that a stable, reliable ESI market is the foundation for a strong national response in support of our public health.

Resilience A Bi-Partisan Opportunity
The math of a 50-50 split in the Senate and a razor-thin margin in the House of Representatives require bipartisan pragmatism to get things done. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has focused its efforts on moving policy debates toward the center where our pro-business agenda lives. For example, we were successful last year in championing historic, bipartisan energy and climate innovation legislation that recently became law. Another such opportunity as we head into 2021 exists with resilience. There is broad agreement on both sides of the aisle and among experts across our nation that advancing resilience is a win-win for the environment and the economy, in particular to respond to climate risks to companies and communities. . . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . ... . . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. .. .

Digital Assets Enhance Performance
Digital assets that leverage blockchain technology have the ability to significantly enhance the performance of the U.S. financial system by bringing credit to consumers who do not use banks or banking services, creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs to raise capital, reduce transaction costs, increase efficiency, and enhance compliance. Despite this opportunity, digital assets are often met with skepticism. While this is healthy and not unprecedented for innovative technology, the U.S. must prioritize innovation.. .. . .. . .. . .... . .. . .... . .. . .... .... . .. . .... .... . .. . .... .... . .. . .... . .. . .... . .. . .. .. .Digital Assets
Unlocking Anti-Trust
Last fall staffers on the House Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee released a long-anticipated report outlining a series of recommendations intended to rewrite our country’s antitrust laws. The staff report, while initially intended to focus on four tech companies, makes a series of erroneous policy conclusions that, if implemented, would wield government control over the entire U.S. economy, hampering growth, and innovation to the detriment of consumers. The staff report recommends blocking mergers that result in the merging parties obtaining a 30% or more market share. .. . .. . ... .. . .. . .. . ... .... .Anti-Trust

Local Vaccine Distribution
Vaccine is being provided to counties based on population and because of this, people really need to be vaccinated within the same county that they either live or work. Recently there has been a change to the allocation strategy for vaccine across providers in Colorado. Sixty percent of the vaccine is now going to large healthcare providers such as hospitals and pharmacies,15% will go to Federally Qualified Health Centers (i.e., Salud Family Health Centers), 15% will go to Federally Qualified Health Centers (i.e., Salud Family He is allocated for local public health agencies (i.e., NCHD), and 10% is going to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) lab.......................

COVID-19 Regional Models Report Updated
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and the Colorado School of Public Health(ColoradoSPH) are releasing an updated COVID-19 Regional Models report. According to the report, hospital demand and the number of reported cases continue to decline from the December peak, and the effective reproductive number is at 0.83. With this number below one, the epidemic is declining in Colorado; however, infections remain widespread. The estimated number of infectious people has declined to about 1 in 115 - approximately the same as the April peak, but still almost 1% of Coloradans. .................................................................................................................... .1 in 115 Infected

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) officials are closely monitoring visitation guidelines for residential care facilities as the number B 1.1.7 variant cases have remained a small percentage of overall COVID-19 instances in the state.

Governor Delivers Tests To Educators
Governor Polis hand-delivered COVID-19 rapid test kits directly to the homes of Colorado’s educators
in Arvada, Parker, Fountain, and Pueblo. Colorado launched a first of its kind, innovative At-Home Testing Program for educators. Colorado is one of only three states chosen to partner with Abbot BinaxNOW to expand use of rapid COVID-19 testing to further open our schools, our economy and successfully suppress the virus. The team at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) have innovated further by forging a partnership with Amazon and eMed, one of the nation’s leading digital health providers, to bring testing to the comfort of educators’ homes with a medical professional present through a telehealth appointment. ......................................... ..Testing At Home

Resources For Small Businesses
Federal Stimulus
The new federal stimulus provides additional support for small businesses impacted by the pandemic, especially restaurants and entertainment venues. This round of “Paycheck Protection Program” (PPP), can go to any businesses that show a loss in revenue of 25% or more from at least one quarter of 2020 as compared to that same quarter in 2019. The funding available for businesses is calculated by finding the average monthly payroll in 2019 and then multiplying it by 2.5, meaning 2.5 months of payroll expenses. The new law provides even more help for restaurants through a special provision that gives these businesses a PPP amount equal to 3.5 months of average monthly payroll costs. We anticipate that Colorado businesses can gain access to billions of dollars in funding via these programs. The timing for the availability of this round of PPP loans has not been announced by the Small Business Administration (SBA). Please visit the OEDIT website listed above for updates as information becomes available and more details on this round of PPP loans and other federal stimulus program. The new law also creates a simplified one-page forgiveness application for PPP loans of under $150,000 and allows expenses covered by PPP loans to be tax deductible. A $600 stimulus is part of Congress’ most recent bipartisan stimulus package and have already begun hitting bank accounts. Individuals with an adjusted gross income of up to $75,000 a year on their 2019 tax return will qualify for the $600 and couples earning up to $150,000 will qualify for $1,200 total. The credit phases out for individuals earning above $75,000 but below $100,000. There is also a $600 payment for each qualifying child. .................................. Payment
Unemployment Insurance
Housing and Utilities Assistance
During this year’s special session, we collaborated with bipartisan legislators in the General Assembly to allocate an additional $54 million in housing assistance through the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). For more information on DOLA’s housing programs and to access support for your rent or mortgage, visit their website. We also allocated $5 million to Energy Outreach Colorado to help Coloradans with utility assistance. Visit their website for more information on how to access those funds. You can also find more information on other programs serving our state, such as County Housing Authorities, the Colorado Low Income Energy Assistance, and more.
Food Assistance
During this pandemic, 1 in 3 Coloradans aren’t sure where their next meal is coming from. I’m proud that during the special session earlier this year we awarded $5 million to the Food Pantry Assistance Program in the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS). If you’re experiencing food insecurity, learn more about food assistance programs from the CDHS, Food Bank of the Rockies, and others serving the people of Colorado. Organizations looking to help their communities address hunger and food access issues, can apply for assistance with the Emergency Hunger Relief Fund
