Colorado families who have encountered economic hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic may be eligible for assistance.

Families can apply for the Colorado Works County Emergency Disaster Program through Colorado PEAK, an online service that allows qualified Coloradans to screen and apply for medical, food, cash and early childhood assistance. Go to coloradopeak.secure.force.com for more information or to apply.

Among the requirements are that a family’s annual combined gross income must be below $75,000 and the household must contain at least one child 18 or younger.
