State Human Services Model: Colorado as a Case Study for Policymakers

Ascend at the Aspen Institute offers a case study on Colorado’s two-generation efforts within their human services system. Some of the strategies implemented by Colorado include: more holistic practice models and policies; broad partnerships between state government, counties, nonprofits, and philanthropies; smart planning and resilient execution; testing and course adjustments; and embedding two-generation approaches into existing efforts, instead of creating separate programs.
