1/23/26 CCCAP                            (Family Letter& Update)

Jan 23, 2026
Connect

After Thursday's provider CCCAP meeting we meet with members to let them know that now is not the time to panic and more funding was on the way TODAY (a fact that was left out of the state meeting yesterday).  We told you that 100% the funding would be deposited today and it was!

You did ask us for a letter to families that you could provide for them and we are providing that for you now!  Feel free to copy and modify any way that you like.  Here is what we drafted for you to share with families.

Keep the requests coming!  That helps us to best know how to serve and support you in these trying times!!

Thank you again for being a member of ECEA.  YOU are making a difference in CO!!
