The Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) recently recognized 25 counties with the 2023 C-Stat Distinguished Performance Award. C-Stat is a performance management tool that allows CDHS to better focus on and improve performance outcomes that enhance people’s lives. The Distinguished Performance Award recognizes counties that meet goals for timeliness, safety and accuracy in their work. Counties that meet their goals are more likely to meet the needs of individuals and families in their community. The counties’ exceptional performance will help more Coloradans feed their families, heat their homes, care for their loved ones and improve their safety, independence and wellbeing. Connecting people with essential services empowers them to pursue opportunities to develop valuable skills, get good jobs, and build a more secure future for themselves and their families.

“Our county partners continue to deliver for Coloradans,” said CDHS Deputy Executive Director of Community Partnerships Minna Castillo. “In meeting their goals, our county teams empower Coloradans to maximize their health, safety and dignity.”
