Current Narrative:
During FFY 2022, DVR estimates about 737 eligible individuals will be served by DVR's supported employment program, approximately 577 eligible individuals will receive supported employment services in FFY 2023, and about 482 eligible individuals will receive supported employment services in FFY 2024. These estimates are based on historic data and current trends in the number of individuals receiving supported employment services. There are under 200 individuals currently working in subminimum wage employment in Colorado, who will be transitioned away from this employment by July 1, 2024. The elimination of subminimum wage in Colorado, may result in an increase in the number of individuals receiving supported employment services during this period of time.
