JEFFERSON COUNTY
Department of Human Services
2013-2014 Annual Report
Letter From the Board of
County Commissioners
It is a great pleasure to present to you Jefferson County Department of Human Services’ Annual
Report. As you read through this report you will see that this was a challenging yet rewarding year
for us. Although revenues have declined the demand for services has increased. We have maximized
and stretched every dollar and we delivered quality services during the most difficult of times.
As County Commissioners we believe we should work to improve the quality of life throughout
Jefferson County by lowering barriers and increasing and enhancing services for those in need.
Our work in the community especially during this very difficult recession has been critical to meet
the needs of so many of our residents.
We are proud that our Human Services Department has partnered with faith based organizations,
non-profit agencies and businesses and together they have maximized services through innovative
cutting edge practices. We have a commitment to excellence. We expect visionary leadership and
strong partnerships. We expect wise stewardship of the taxpayer dollars and we believe we are
meeting these expectations, especially during these difficult times. I believe you will enjoy reading
this report and you will also be proud of the work being done to ensure Jefferson County is the
best place to live and to raise a family.
Sincerely,
Faye Griffin, Chair
Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners

Letter from Lynn Johnson
Executive Director, Department of Human Services
I am proud to present the Jefferson County Department of Human Services 2013-2014 Annual Report.
My original purpose of doing an annual report was to be completely transparent about our spending
and our services to the Jefferson County community. Yet, when I reviewed this year's report I noticed
that it also told a story about very difficult times during a hard hitting recession. We continue to hear
that the recession is over but those of us in the helping professions have not yet seen a reduction in
need, in hunger, in fear of abuse or neglect or in poverty. We continue to serve every day to see a positive impact. That is what I saw in this Annual Report. Impact is not about what we do, how many people we serve, how long we’ve been in existence or how far our service area reaches. It is about whether we achieved positive change and whether
or not it lasts.
Impact does not happen by accident but through dedication and rigorous attention to high standards.
That is why I am proud of this annual report. This report shows that we are not just collaborating with our partner agencies, non-profits, faith based organizations and businesses but that we are beginning to move from collaboration to partnering to truly integrating. There has been a convergence of energy in Jefferson County moving towards a positive impact for people never seen before. There has been a convergence to enhance services and to eliminate duplication. There has been a convergence to streamline systems and to become more efficient. There has been a convergence to be innovative and to tackle difficult issues. This convergence is transformative, ensuring that Jefferson County is the best place to live and to raise a family. People
are front and center and systems see faces not cases. It is an honor to be part of a Jefferson County
team that truly makes a difference for those living in this County.
This Annual Report helps tell this story of a community committed to taxpayers, to individuals, to families and to our entire community. Thank you for helping us have an impact. Sincerely,
Lynn A. Johnson
Executive Director

Adult Protection and Senior Services
Adult Protection provides services to prevent, reduce, or eliminate
the current or potential risk of mistreatment, exploitation, or selfneglect to the at-risk adult (age 18 and older) using community based
services, health care services, family and friends when appropriate,
and other support systems. Adult Protective Services receives
reports from a variety of resources (neighbors, law enforcement,
etc.) and determines the need for an investigation or assessment
as mandated by the state. In 2013, Jefferson County responded
to 931 reports of at-risk adult abuse, neglect or exploitation.
Adult Protective Services made great strides in 2013 to connect
and collaborate with the District Attorney, local police authorities
and jails. Conversations and cross training took place between
agencies resulting in a better understanding of how to handle cases involving seniors with dementia. Often, inappropriate behavior from
seniors with dementia can land them in jail, which is not in the best interest of the senior or an appropriate place to receive treatment and
help. This education has everyone working together for the benefit of not only the taxpayers, but our aging senior population.
Jefferson County Proclamation for World Elder Abuse Awareness Day,
June 15, 2013.
Senate Bill 13-111, mandatory reporting for at-risk elders (age 70 and older), was signed into
law in May of 2013. The new law states members of helping professions are now “mandatory
reporters” and are required to report known or suspected abuse of at-risk elders. Mandatory
reporting begins on July 1, 2014. With this bill, and for the first time ever, Adult Protection
Services received state funding for emergency services for seniors. This funding is used
to help at risk-adults who need housing or placement in a care facility, medication, clothing,
food and other basic needs.
(May 2013, Denver, CO) Governor Hickenlooper signs new law stating members of helping
professions are now “mandatory reporters” and are required to report known or suspected
abuse of at-risk elders. Mandatory reporting begins on July 1, 2014.

Thanks to the new emergency services
funding for seniors, Al is now enjoying
his new life and is actively engaged in
his community.

Al's first referral to Adult Protective Services (APS) was in September, 2013. At that time,
Al was living by himself in a small home in Edgewater. The landlord contacted APS due
to concerns Al was driving, getting lost, showing signs of confusion, not caring for his personal
hygiene, not eating, and not being able to care for his health and safety. Al's wife and daughter
are deceased and his son's whereabouts are unknown. He has no other known living relatives.
Alison Mangold, APS Caseworker, visited Al at his home and found it was in poor condition and
the bathroom was not functional, unsanitary and dangerous. Al was sleeping on a loveseat, with
no bedding or sufficient heat in the home. Al was carrying large amounts of cash and appeared
to have no concept of money management. He stated he was lonely and wanted to move to
assisted care.The new state funding for emergency services for seniors allowed for a cognitive
evaluation. Conservatorship and guardianship was recommended. Emergency funding paid for
moving expenses and housing in assisted care, while a Medicaid application was completed.
Emergency funds also purchased clothing, bedding and toiletries for Al.
In less than one month after the initial APS visit, Al moved into assisted living and
began receiving Medicaid and day program services from Innovage. Jefferson County was granted emergency guardianship,
conservatorship, and Long Term Care Medicaid in the same month. Al has improved since his move and states he wants to stay
where he is. He is now social and receives support with all activities of daily living.

Adult Protection and Senior Services
Long Term Care
This team determines financial eligibility for those who need ongoing
medical or social support. Eligible individuals include:
• Adults over the age of 18 who may have a chronic illness or
disability and need long term care
• Disabled children who are at risk of institutionalization in a
hospital or nursing facility and who would not otherwise be
eligible for Medicaid due to parental income or resources
Options for Long-Term Care
(Single Entry Point)
Serving as a gateway for Medicaid services, case managers conduct
functional client assessments to determine the appropriate level of
care for individuals with chronic illnesses or disabilities. Individuals
have the options for in-home care, assisted living or nursing home
care depending on their needs.
Human Services employee, Britanni Trujillo, was
honored for her excellent customer service by the
Colorado Health Care Association.
Lynn Johnson, Executive Director, Jefferson County Human
Services and Susan Franklin, Project Manager, Jefferson
County Human Services, received a “Serving Our Seniors”
award. Colorado Senior Lobby presented the award for
their dedication and service to Colorado seniors.
Britanni and her team
greatly improved
their relationships
with nursing homes,
assisted living centers
and other Medicaid
providers, allowing
for faster Medicaid
application approvals
for our customers.
Jefferson County’s Aging Well Project
Jefferson County has a rapidly changing landscape with the largest number of adults age 60
and over in Colorado, and that number is expected to double by the year 2030. For the past
six years, Jefferson County’s Strategic Plan for Aging Well has been exploring this aging
population and actively getting the community involved.
Emergency kits created by an Aging Well
Taskforce and distributed to 100 isolated
seniors in Jefferson County.
Jefferson County’s Aging Well Project held its 4th Annual
Summit in June, 2013. Over 175 participants from all
different aspects of aging attended the Summit from
caregivers to businesses to faith based people and elected
officials, transportation and housing experts, financial
and medical professionals. The Summit was a call to
action to unite and create communities that are senior
friendly including funding for assisted transportation,
greater options in senior housing, greater awareness of
care giving issues amongst businesses, a more structured
approach to volunteerism as well as many more topics.
Other workgroup projects included reaching out to employers regarding their caregiving
employees and putting together 100 emergency kits for isolated seniors.

Workshops Offered at the American Job Center
The Training Services Team, a joint partnership between Colorado
Works and the American Job Center, developed a comprehensive
range of classes to help customers with family stability, employment
and career development. Over 45 workshops are available to the

Over 38 job seekers attended this makeover event and learned
techniques and strategies for engaging the interviewer,
selecting colors which highlight skin tone, shopping for a
business wardrobe on a shoestring budget, dentistry tips for
an award winning smile, and more. Professional presenters
offered their time free of charge to participate and give back to
the community. A professional photographer was on hand and
provided job seekers with photos for their LinkedIn accounts.
Stylists and makeup artists conducted over 23 makeovers and
job seekers left prepared for their next interview and making
that first great impression.
One of the job seekers commented,

Business Services for Employers
The American Job Center (AJC) provides talent development and
recruitment assistance to local employers and entrepreneurs at
no cost. Businesses can search the database for that one perfect
candidate, fill many positions by participating in weekly hiring
events, or obtain financial assistance before committing to
training a new employee. Services include:
• Subsidized On-the-Job (OJT) Trainings
• Pre-Employment Candidate Evaluations
• Wage Analysis
• Layoff Transition Assistance
• Talent Recruitment
Business Services is also able to provide up to $5,000 in subsidized
wages for on-the-job (OJT) training based on high-demand
occupations and the availability of qualified candidates.
Celebrate Success:
APC Construction was having troubles
finding a quality, qualified applicant for
their administrative accountant. They
had used many different placement
agencies with varying results. APC
Construction was initially skeptical of
using a government agency for staffing help for fear of
paperwork and red-tape, but decided to try it out anyway.
Upon receiving the job description from APC Construction,
American Job Center staff conducted site visits to better
understand the position and the culture of the company.
The American Job Center staff marketed the position through
the Connecting Colorado website and the "AddME Talent
Pool." Resumes submitted by candidates were then screened
and reviewed for best fit to the position and culture of the
company. Interviews were coordinated through the American
Job Center with the oversight of APC Construction's hiring
manager. On-the-job training reimbursement for the company
was also sought.
APC Construction hired an AddME Talent Pool member
for the position and the company could not be happier.
Through the screening process the perfect candidate was
found, rather than just "a" candidate. APC Construction said
that after working with placement agencies for nearly 30
years, the American Job Center was as good, if not better,
than any of those agencies and the on-the-job training
reimbursement was the "icing on the cake."

Youth Services
The American Job Center (AJC) Youth Services
program helps youth ages 14 to 21 develop
job readiness skills and get connected to
employment opportunities. Youth Services
also offers free assistance in supporting youth
to obtain their high school diploma, GED or post-secondary
certificate/training (two years or less).
Celebrate Success:
Meet Inna. Inna was a
youth in need of some
direction. She knew that
to make something better
for herself she needed
to find a decent job. The
problem was that Inna
had little training and
skills and no one would
hire "just a kid."
Youth Services coordinated an internship for Inna at St.
Anthony Hospital and funded Certified Nurse Aide training
at Red Rocks Community College. The Youth Services team
then assisted Inna in developing a professional resume and
refined Inna’s interviewing skills. Inna attended an American
Job Center hiring event which resulted in a job offer for a
health care position at Complete Home Health Care.

Before I was here, I was
lost. I didn’t know how to

Without Youth Services, I
don’t know where I would
be. I might still be lost.

Child Support Services
Child Support Services has served over 15,706 families and 23,557
children, and has collected $31.3 million dollars on behalf of children
in 2013.
The program goals are to strengthen families financially, medically,
and emotionally to enhance parents’ means to engage and support
their children.
Child Support Services is comprised of multiple programs directly
benefitting the financial, medical and emotional needs of children:
• Problem Solving Court - Traditionally, a parent who did not pay child
support was sent to jail for 180 days once found in contempt. The
parent was rarely given the opportunity to address the underlying
reason for failure to comply with their child support order. Parents
who go to jail fall further behind on their child support payments and
often face additional challenges after their jail sentence. Jail is an
expensive burden on the judicial system and the tax payer.
The problem solving court seeks to help parents find solutions to the barriers keeping them from meeting their child support
obligations and an alternative to a jail sentence. Barriers might include access to their children, unemployment, challenges to
complying with orders, criminal history, mental health needs and substance abuse. Most often, parents do have the ability to pay
if obstacles are addressed. Parents who are able to overcome barriers and pay child support become positively engaged in their
children’s lives, improving the overall family situation.
• Responsible Fatherhood Program – This program assists fathers in identifying and overcoming barriers they face in maintaining
an active role in their children’s lives, and becoming current on financial obligations to their children. Research suggests that the
emotional and financial strength of communities is linked to the strength of the men in those families in our communities.
The Fatherhood specialist walks through the various stages and challenges of being a good father and helps identify ways dads can be
there for their kids even though they may not see them daily or even weekly.
• The Colorado Parent Employment Project (CO-PEP) - CO-PEP started in October 2013 to help non-custodial parents (NCPs) with
supportive and employment services so they are able to pay their child support. Child support data shows that NCPs often find it difficult to
obtain employment, or they are under employed.
Utilizing community resources, intensive barrier assessments,
and partnerships with the Jefferson County Responsible Fatherhood
Program and the American Job Center, CO-PEP is demonstrating
restored parental relationships and consistent child support
payments. Jefferson County will serve 180 participants through this
project by October 2016.
Jefferson County has received national recognition for demonstrating
best practices in delivering services that create a return on investment
for our families, our communities and our taxpayers.

Mike had recently been released from incarceration on a
domestic violence charge, was the restrained party on a
restraining order, and was also unemployed when he first
came into the Jefferson County Responsible Fatherhood
Program. Seeking to re-integrate himself into the life of his
young son Ben, Mike was willing to engage in individual
coaching to identify and overcome some of his barriers.
Fatherhood Specialist Dave Rosset immediately conducted
an intake and referred him to the Whitian House, where he
still engages in domestic violence therapy.
Jefferson County Head Start
Head Start is a high quality preschool program promoting
school readiness for children ages 3-5 from low-income families
by enhancing the child’s cognitive, social and emotional
development. Jefferson County Head Start is unlike any other
preschool program because it provides supportive services for
the entire family. In 2013, Jefferson County Head Start served
1,900 children and family members.
Families participated in Love and Logic parenting classes, self care
workshops, fatherhood activities, cooking classes and multiple
advisory and advocacy opportunities. In addition, 246 families
received one or more services that were either provided by Head
Start or referred to an outside agency. Services included: 150
requests for crisis intervention, 44 for housing assistance, 49 for
mental health services, 114 for some type of training or education,
and 149 for some type of family assistance or parenting education.
The teachers at Jefferson County Head Start are among the most
qualified preschool teachers in the country with mandatory Bachelor
degree level lead teachers and Associate or leading to an Associate
Degree level assistant teachers in each classroom.
Fatherhood Manager Ray Washington conducted parenting
education sessions with the custodial mother, referred the
parties to Jefferson County Mediation Services and, with
the consent of the custodial mother, scheduled supervised
visits between Mike and Ben accurred during weekend
Fatherhood classes. As a result of mediation, the parties
signed a stipulated Memorandum of Understanding regarding
parenting time which ultimately became an order of the court.
To date, Mike is employed fulltime, has completed therapy
and safely reconciled with the custodial mother.
Field Day at Head Start is always a popular event with
teachers, families and the surrounding community.

Jeffco Prosperity Project (JPP)
JPP is a collaboration of community, school, business and county partnerships working together
to assist young children and families in poverty to foster educational and family success. Research
shows that children living in poverty face greater challenges in succeeding in school, and later in life.
JPP works to help Head Start families receive intensive support in order to become self sufficient,
while school age children receive academic support to attain their high school diploma.

Child Welfare
In 2013, 9,513 reports of child abuse and/or neglect were triaged,
ensuring children in our community are safe. The Division of
Children, Youth and Families completes comprehensive assessments
of allegations and provides protective services to children and
youth who are at risk, or are victims of child abuse or neglect. The
Division responds to reports of abuse and neglect 24 hours a day,
7 days a week.
The County constantly works to support families to ensure the
safety of children, youth, and families but cannot do it alone.
Groups, organizations and individuals throughout the community
are highly encouraged to get involved in this effort. If you witness
child abuse or even suspect it may be happening, please call the
Child Abuse Hotline at 303-271-HELP (4357).

Prevention: SafeCare
A part of Governor Hickenlooper’s Keeping Kids Safe and Families
Healthy 2.0 initiative, prevention programs are being provided to
prevent families from entering or further becoming involved in
the child welfare system. SafeCare is an evidence-based, in-home
parenting skills prevention program. Designed for families with
at least one child birth to age 5, the program lasts roughly 16 to
19 weeks, with weekly sessions addressing child health, home
safety and parent-child interaction. The Kempe Center oversees
implementation of the program, including training, research and
evaluation. In partnership with Savio House and Denver County
Human Services, Jefferson County Division of Children Youth and
Families (CYF) was chosen as one of the three sites in Colorado
to implement SafeCare. A voluntary program, it is free to families
that meet criteria. This program fills a gap for families to receive
preventive services and support to parent and care for their
young children. Community agencies and families can access this
program by calling Savio House for the SafeCare program at
303-225-4185 or [email protected].
Child Protection HOTLINE Intake Team received a Customer
Service Award. The team created a pilot program by designing
an enhanced screening tool to gather critical information about
the allegations of child abuse/neglect to assist employees in
making good decisions more efficiently and effectively.
COLLABORATION: Serving Domestic Violence
through Collaborating Partnerships
Human Services’ Children, Youth and Families Division (CYF) began
a unique collaboration to enhance child welfare's response to the
complex issue of domestic violence. Working with Family Tree to
provide expertise on victim concerns, as well as a key perpetrator
treatment provider, CYF built specific expertise to address work
around safety of victims and treatment of perpetrators.
Child Protection HOTLINE Intake Team wins Customer Service Award.

The goals of this partnership are to improve health, safety and well
being of parents and their children who are impacted by domestic
violence, as well as improve child welfare practice with clients who
have experienced domestic violence. This collaboration is unique
with only very few programs like this in the state of Colorado located
within a county child protection office.

Family and Children
Permanency Roundtables
Why is permanency so important?
“
A simple concept: children
and youth in foster care
deserve a family.
"
Permanency Roundtables (PRTs) began on a pilot basis in Jefferson
County in January 2012. Eighteen months later, Jefferson County
expanded permanency roundtables to all children and youth (close
to 150) who have been in foster care for a year or more.
Permanency options for children/youth in foster care include
reunifying with a parent, legal guardianship, legal custody,
or adoption.
“
Ask a youth what
permanency means to
them and they are likely

Studies have found that former foster youth who emancipate from
the system are less likely to be employed, have a bank account,
health insurance, and are more likely to be homeless or pregnant.
Permanency is a lifelong commitment that provides stability for
youth. Permanency Roundtables work to develop an action plan for
children and youth in foster care. The initial permanency roundtable
includes caseworkers, supervisors, attorneys representing the
youth, and a community representative referred to as the "external
consultant". The second meeting is referred to as the "Youth
Voice" roundtable in which the youth is invited to the meeting
along with anyone they identify as their supports. The youth then
revises and creates their plan for permanency with the help of the
team. Permanency roundtables are held every 90 days until legal
permanency is achieved or the case closes.
Celebrate Success
Tyler entered foster care over three years ago when he was 12.
After Tyler's mom was not successful in addressing the issues on
her treatment plan and the paternal side of the family was not able
to have Tyler in their home, his permanency goal was changed
to adoption. As recruitment for a possible adoptive family was
occurring, the permanency roundtable process began.
During the Youth Voice PRT, Tyler stated that he wanted the team
to find his maternal grandmother. Although the caseworker had
heard concerning things about the grandmother from Tyler's
mother, the PRT team made the commitment to locate her and
discuss with her any interest in becoming involved in Tyler's life
as a permanent connection. Grandma was excited to be contacted
and made an immediate commitment to Tyler. Over several
months, Tyler and Grandma, with the support of the PRT team,
re-connected and made plans for Tyler to live with her. As of June,
Tyler is now successfully living with his Grandma. Tyler now has
family that he can always depend upon for years to come.

Partnering for Safety: From Screening to Permanency is the
practice model for the Division of Children, Youth and Families,
which provides a framework for how the Division as a whole
works internally and partners with families, service providers
and community members to put our mission and guiding principles
into action in daily practice and operations. At the core, the model
is the description of what we do, how we do it, why we do it and
what outcomes we hope to achieve for children and families. Child,
youth, family and community engagement is the value the Division
emphasizes throughout the practice using different components.
CY
Collaborative Foster Care Program
Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties formed a partnership
to recruit, train, certify and support foster families. Through this
partnership, the three counties are better equipped to provide the
best possible out-of-home experience where children can thrive until
they can be reunified with family, live independently, or be adopted.

Jefferson County Kids Waiting for Adoption
Adoptive parents become a 'forever family' to children who
can no longer live with their biological family due to unresolved
concerns for their safety and well being. Adoptive families must
be able to provide for a child unconditionally and know that even
when there are challenges and bumps along the way, they are
helping to prevent future cycles of abuse, giving a child hope.
Misti - Born December 2001
Doing foster care is helping
children feel safe and secure in a
world that has been turned upside
down for them. It allows them an
opportunity for normalcy.
"
— Pam Herrera, Foster Parent
Misti is a sweet, imaginative and creative girl. Misti thrives
in a setting where she receives positive attention and
affirmation. Misti loves music, especially Justin Bieber and
Taylor Swift, and she also loves to sing and dance.
Misti does well around other children, but would do best as
the youngest child. Misti will do well with a family who allows
her to be herself without judgment and one that appreciates
her spunky, active personality.

JCHS Confronts Human Trafficking
Human Trafficking is a
$32 billion dollar a year
industry. It is the fastest
growing crime, now second
only to the drug trade
and it is happening here
in our own community Jefferson County. Jefferson
County Department of Human Services through the Children
and Youth Leadership Commission has formed a network of
collaboration with law enforcement, public safety, health care
providers, County Public Health, legislators, educators, mental
health professionals, and community outreach agencies as a
coalition to best serve victims of human trafficking. The U.S.
Department of Justice reports that between 2008-2010, 83% of
sex trafficking victims found within the United States have been
involved at one time with the child welfare system, specifically
foster care. Human Services is working to increase victim safety,
support victims in protecting themselves and their children,
identify and create appropriate referral options for each victim,
and standardize procedures and resources for screening victims.
The Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners issued
a proclamation declaring zero tolerance for Human Trafficking
in Jefferson County. All Colorado counties are now challenged
to proclaim the same commitment to putting an end to Human
Trafficking in the state of Colorado.
This is not an issue that can be solved by any one agency; it
takes partnership and multiple resources to solve. You can do
your part. If you suspect human trafficking, contact our Child
Protection Hotline at 303-271-HELP (4357) and the Colorado
Network to End Human Trafficking (CoNEHT) toll-free, 24
hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-866-455-5075.

Colorado Works
Innovation/Partnerships
Colorado Works contracted with Disability Benefit Services
(DBS) to assist customers with applying for Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) and/or Social Security Disability
Insurance (SSDI). When an individual applies with Social
Security on their own, the award rate is close to 15%.
When an individual applies with Social Security using DBS,
the award rate jumps to close to 70%, allowing those who
need this vital help to receive it more quickly (or receive it at
all, as the process is quite cumbersome and often those who
need it the most have the least ability to navigate the process
to receive the help they need).
Colorado Works partnered with the Colorado Department
of Corrections to connect 17 parolees with jobs in the
community and provided $28,550 in subsidized wages
directly to parolees in 2013.
Colorado Works partnered with A Precious Child organization
to distribute 300 backpacks and school supplies to families
and their children enrolled in Colorado Works.

Colorado Child Care Assistance
Program (CCCAP)
Eligible Jefferson County parents receive peace of mind and
financial support from CCCAP while continuing their education or
working. This program provides financial assistance and child care
options allowing parents to choose their own provider while sharing
in the cost of fees paid to that provider. As a parent’s financial
picture improves, child care costs are adjusted to gradually shift
more to the family.
• In 2013, the program invested $4,631,343 in the community
through payments to more than 475 child care providers
CCCAP/Partnerships
Jefferson County, in partnership with the TRIAD Early
Childhood Council, was awarded funds to provide a higher
level of CCCAP reimbursement to the high-quality infant
and toddler programs.
In order to be considered for funding, counties were
required to partner with local Early Childhood Councils
(ECCs) to meet the following goals:
1) Increase the number for low-income infants and toddlers
who can attend high-quality early learning programs;
2) Provide greater reimbursements from the Colorado
Child Care Assistance Program (CCCAP) to high-quality
early learning programs to improve services provided
to children;
3) Promote collaboration among counties and ECCs to
create a system to achieve its goals for success; and
4) Provide staff training, professional development, and
toys, books and games that help develop young minds.
Nineteen child care providers will benefit from this project.
• Over 1,000 families retained employment allowing access to
affordable health care.

Welfare Fraud Investigation
Quality Assurance
Fraud is defined as the intentional deception or misrepresentation
made by a person knowing that the deception or misrepresentation
could result in some type of benefit to them for which they were
not eligible. Examples include false reporting or failure to report
important details such as the number of household members or a
change in household members, earnings from employment, any
change in type of household income, and the existence of bank
accounts. By reducing welfare fraud through the Investigations Unit,
Jefferson County increases public confidence in the welfare system,
saves taxpayer dollars, and ensures that funds are available to those
who really need assistance.
Quality Assurance conducts case reviews to identify incorrect
payments, training needs, and potential internal or external fraud.
Incorrect payments not only penalize clients but also can impact
an individual’s taxes.
In 2013, the Quality Assurance Team conducted 5,776 case
reviews for Colorado Works, Food Assistance, Medicaid, and
Long Term Care programs.
In 2013, the Investigations Unit conducted welfare fraud
investigations detecting $309,414 in fraudulent overpayments.
As a result of fraudulent activity, 59 individuals were disqualified
from receiving further public assistance which resulted in a
financial savings of $1,163,568.
Welfare Fraud Investigations and Quality Assurance Team.
Report Welfare Fraud!
Do you suspect someone of providing information they know is false, so they will receive assistance they are not eligible for?
Welfare Fraud is:
Not reporting all individuals in their household
• Providing false or untrue information
• Receiving assistance in more than one state
• Not reporting all of their income
•

What is Restorative Justice?
Community Corrections
Important to Colorado’s criminal justice system, Community Corrections
enhances public safety, is cost-effective, provides supervision and accountability,
and offers specialized vocational, substance abuse and mental health programs
helping offenders safely transition and succeed in the community.
Community Corrections teaches offenders how to live in the community
lawfully and is an alternative to sending offenders to prison. The program
allows offenders to reconnect with their families, work and earn money to pay
obligations, obtain education, and relearn societal rules and laws while being
closely supervised in a safe, secure and controlled environment. Without
Community Corrections, some offenders would be living anonymously in the
community without resources, structure or monitoring.
Offenders who are referred for a community corrections placement must go
through a stringent, multilevel approval process in order to be accepted into a
Jefferson County Community Corrections Center. When appropriate offenders
are sentenced to Community Corrections, their chances to reoffend are much
lower because they receive the necessary support and resources to become
productive members of the community.
Restorative Justice is an innovative
approach to those involved in crime.
Unlike the approach of the traditional
judicial system where the crime is
treated as an offense against the state,
restorative justice acknowledges that
crime affects the persons directly
involved as well as the community.
Restorative Justice emphasizes repairing
the harm caused by crime. When victims,
offenders and community members
meet to decide how to repair a harm,
the results can be transformational.
In 2013, a cost savings of $1,945,732 was incurred by sentencing offenders to Community Corrections instead of prison or jail. Community
Corrections residents earned $2,710,939 by working in the community, paid $125,157 in child support to their families, and paid $324,257
in restitution to victims. Over the past four years, Community Corrections residents paid over $1,287,459 in State and Federal taxes.
Community Service
Through collaboration with nonprofit and government organizations, Community
Service provides placement opportunities and ongoing supervision for
offenders ordered to complete community service. Many lives are changed as
offenders contribute hours in a restorative justice environment.
In 2013, Community Service collaborated with 790 organizations, saving
Jefferson County agencies, residents, and partner organizations over $1.7
million (calculated at $12 per hour by 141,631 hours).
Making a difference in the lives of our residents,
offenders made and distributed over 600 handmade
fleece blankets to safe houses for adults and children,
transitional veteran housing, homeless shelters, and
shelters for abandoned pets. In addition, children
involved in the court system received handmade
crocheted backpacks stuffed with bears, bracelets,
necklaces, hats and mittens.
30
31
Justice Services
Work Crew
Courts may assign offenders to carry out their community service
on work crews. This stiffer sentence involves physical labor at
various work sites. Residential crews (juvenile only) stay overnight
on-site, where non-residential crews are allowed to stay at home.
The juvenile residential crew provided community service
opportunities to boys and girls ages 10 to 17 at the mountain
outdoor lab schools. In 2013, a total of 6,800 hours were
completed, allowing youth to learn valuable life, social, and
vocational skills; and engage in teamwork activities and build
leadership skills. As part of restorative justice, the juvenile
residential crew gives back to the community by carrying out
responsibilities for fire mitigation, road and trail maintenance,
facility repair, snow removal, painting and weed control.
In 2013, the non-residential crew dedicated 26,000 hours of work
to Jefferson County government agencies and other organizations.
Projects include the collection of two tons of recyclable products
per week, assisting with fairground events, roadside trash pickup,
snow removal, and helping repair damage to roads, trails, and
bridges after the last flood. The work crew programs provided over
$314,400 in cost-avoidance to Jefferson County (calculated at $12
by 26,600 hours).
Pretrial Services
Pretrial officers interview arrested persons suspected of committing a
crime, and recommend bond and release conditions to the courts. If
pretrial release is granted, a pretrial services case manager provides
supervision of the defendant’s compliance with bond conditions,
court appearances, and GPS or substance abuse monitoring. Pretrial
Services serves courts in Jefferson and Gilpin Counties and is
available 24-hours a day, 365 days a year.
In 2013, 4,691 out of 5,067 defendants interviewed were ordered
to pretrial supervision. An additional 471 defendants were
placed on pretrial supervision through judicial proceedings. The
successful court appearance rate was 97.8% and with no arrests
averaging 95.7%.
Working more cohesively with local law enforcement has resulted in
an 81% apprehension rate for defendants who had active warrants
for their arrest. In addition, Pretrial Services is better collaborating
with other Human Services programs. Often the defendant is
involved in more than one program and this integrated approach
better serves to enhance community safety by identifying needs of
defendants who first enter the Criminal Justice System. This reduces
duplication of services and promotes self-sufficiency and successful
outcomes for the defendants.
Criminal Justice Planning
Planners provide primary research and analysis to the Jefferson
County Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee (CJCC), which has
the mission to “promote the highest quality of justice within available
resources, through collaboration and consensus.” Planners assisted
the group in indentifying new priorities, creating new subcommittees
and beginning work on the identified issues of mental health triage
and mobile crisis units as wells as supporting the successful location
of a new community corrections facility.
Mediation Services
Volunteer mediators provide residents and local agencies with
no-cost conflict and dispute resolution. Steps to resolve conflicts
help reduce law enforcement calls, trips to court, and other service
requests. Qualified and dedicated mediators come from a variety
of professional backgrounds including: communication, education,
environmental sciences, health, human resources, law, counseling
and business.
Volunteer mediators handled 1,615 cases and donated 5,290 hours
in 2013; realizing a cost-avoidance of $529,000 ($100 multiplied by
5,290 hours.) This does not figure in the dollars saved by reduced
law enforcement calls, trips to court and other service requests.
According to the Colorado Office of Dispute Resolution, the cost
to hire a mediator ranges from $120 to $350 or higher per hour.
Technology enhancements were made to the electronic
monitoring equipment making it easier to determine a high
risk defendant’s whereabouts.

Due to Peter’s help and the additional claims, he is now 60% service connected disabled and receiving $1,137 a month. Often, spouses or
dependents have no idea what benefits they are entitled to and Peter is eager to help.
“
Peter Mortaro is absolutely fabulous, cordial, extremely professional, very nice and thorough. He knows what he’s doing, and because of this, Peter was able to save us some time and we are very thankful we were granted a permanent monetary veterans award.

veterans are entitled to receive priority services in job referrals and referrals to training as well as other employment-related services. Veterans
may qualify for a scholarship or tuition assistance for retraining into a new field or upgrading current skills to improve marketability. Veterans
always receive first priority in job referrals and will learn about available jobs before the rest of the job-seeking public
• In 2013, over 3,607 veterans registered at the American Job Center in Jefferson County
• 2,122 actually came into the center and received staff assisted services; 741 entered employment
• Of those assisted, 381 were disabled veterans of which 120 entered employment
Add-A-Veteran Academy
The American Job Center is dedicated to creating job opportunities for veterans and their spouses and hosts a
multiple day event to get them back to work. Add-A-Veteran Academy helps each veteran job seeker with resume
and job search assistance. At the conclusion of the event, veterans attend a hiring event with local businesses in
attendance. The event gives veterans in our community a great opportunity to meet with employers and showcase
the diverse range of skills and abilities they possess.
National Veterans Training Institute Video filmed in Jefferson County
This online course guides staff at American Job Centers (AJCs) on how to assist our nation’s veterans to find jobs and help them to secure a job
with career potential. The Department of Labor, through its role in the Transition Assistance Program (or TAP) and in general, outreach to veteran
groups across the country and is strongly advocating for the use of the AJCs as the best source for employment assistance for veterans. The
sheer number of new veterans expected over the next few years, coupled with the increased emphasis placed on using the AJCs resources, will
likely result in more and more veterans seeking services at AJCs. Find this video online: http://www.nvtihelpvets.ucdenver.edu/index.php
