Special Funding (CHRP)


​The Children's Habilitation Residential Program (CHRP) Waiver provides residential services for children and youth in foster care who have a developmental disability and very high needs. Their needs for support put them at risk for institutional care. Waiver services help children and youth learn and maintain skills needed to live in their communities. The CHRP waiver is administered through the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS).

Foster children under 21 years old with a developmental disability and high needs and whom are at risk of institutionalization are eligible for the CHRP waiver.
