Internet Explorer 6.05 is a version of Internet Explorer 6 which came installed with pre-reset Longhorn builds. It has went through many changes throughout Longhorn development. It contained download manager (however broken in a lot of builds). In later builds the GUI was integrated with the new extended title bar (same way as Explorer's windows) and allowed extended Aero as well.
Through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Section 9817, and in conjunction with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Colorado Joint Budget Committee (JBC), the Department was approved to distribute approximately $100 million through grants and pilot programs. These grants are aimed to enhance, expand, and strengthen Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) in Colorado. For more information on each grant and how to apply, please see below. The Department will continue to update this site as new information becomes available.
Who is Eligible:
Actively enrolled Health First Colorado (Medicaid) members who utilize life-sustaining equipment that requires electricity to operate. Examples of life-sustaining equipment include:
If a member lives in a licensed residential setting such as a group home, supported living program, or alternative care facility, they are not eligible because these facilities are already required to have backup power supplies for residents. Applications will be approved based on medical need and availability of Backup Power Supplies.
Summary of project:
Assist members with disabilities and those with mental health needs, who live independently in the community, to be prepared for potential emergencies by providing reliable and safe power backup in the event of an emergency power outage. [Full Project Description]

Summary of project:
HCPF is working with case management agencies, local area organizations, and stakeholders to plan for CMRD and the multiple phases of the new CCM. This funding will provide support to case management agencies for unexpected costs outside of previous funding opportunities or existing reimbursement structure during transitions to implement CMRD, to support staff retention, assist with data clean-up in the CCM, digitization and/or storage of documents and unexpected demands related to the Public Health Emergency Unwind.

Summary of project:
The Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF) received funding through Section 9817 of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to build systems of care and support that recognize and leverage the needs and capabilities of various populations. This grant will focus on expanding, enhancing, and strengthening the capacity of existing service providers to serve individuals receiving Home and Community Based (HCBS) waiver services in a residential setting with disabilities and complex behavior support needs.
Through this grant program, HCBS providers may apply for funds for projects that will enable agencies to better serve individuals with complex behavioral and/or medical support needs that require intensive supports and interventions, to include materials, home modifications, use of a consultant, and/or equipment that are not already billable to Medicaid. These funds are not for the purpose of directly providing ongoing services.

This funding will support the expansion of Qualified Residential Treatment Program (QRTP) service capacity by addressing operational needs identified by QRTP providers. Through this funding opportunity, QRTP providers may apply for funds by selecting from a menu of project ideas that best suit their needs. Project categories and examples include:
How to apply: Interested QRTPs will need to complete a Google form application, budget workbook, and submit required documentation to HCPF_ARPA...@state.co.us within one (1) calendar day of submitting the application form.
Who is Eligible: HCBS Members and Coaches (Providers, Advocates, Family, Friends) with broadband access.
If you do not have broadband access and would like more information about how you may be able to obtain it, visit the Governor's Office of Information Technology's Broadband Office for more information.
Like HCBS providers, many HCBS-enrolled members could benefit from greater use of electronic systems. Every day we are all expected to adopt new technologies that improve our lives and help us to access the things we need, including our healthcare. This includes accessing doctor's portals, utilizing email and text messaging reminder systems for appointments, or receiving services through expanding telehealth and telemedicine options.
Under this project, HCPF has contracted with the Center for Inclusive Design and Engineering (CIDE) to understand the technology literacy landscape for members served through Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) and identify best practices for effective instruction in achieving desired outcomes including increased digital literacy and use among LTSS members. The outcome of this work is the development of a Digital Literacy Program aimed at improving the digital literacy skills of Colorado Medicaid recipients so they may better access online health information and services. This training program is designed for guided facilitation from trained Digital Literacy Coaches.
The roles and responsibilities of a Digital Literacy Coach include facilitating and guiding your training participants through the courses of the digital literacy curriculum successfully. It is essential for Digital Literacy Coaches to harness a person-centered mindset when coaching their participants. What we mean by a person-centered mindset, is valuing the importance of providing a tailored learning experience based on your participants, preferred learning styles, abilities, and prior knowledge.
If you are a coach who would like to apply, please ensure that you have at least one member (learner) who has agreed to participate. Their information and certification of approval to participate will be required.
The research topics and data collection focus areas will be determined by the Department. [Full Project Description]

HB22-1302 authorized the Department to develop and make available grants for physical and behavioral health care providers for the implementation of evidence-based clinical integration care models. Funding to support this initiative comes from the Behavioral and Mental Health Cash Fund, which utilizes money the state received from the federal coronavirus state fiscal recovery fund. The appropriate use and oversight of coronavirus state and local fiscal recovery funds (SLFRF) are determined by the U.S. Treasury as outlined in their final rules released on January 27, 2022.
Who is Eligible:
Adult or child mental or primary care providers, obstetrics/gynecology providers, pediatric outpatient care providers, or community behavioral health providers serving adult and/or child and adolescent populations are all eligible to apply. Application tracks will be available for practices new to integrated care and for practices looking to expand and improve their existing integrated care programming.
Summary of project:
Through the distribution of funds allocated by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) received funding for the expansion of integrated behavioral health services in primary care settings. Under this project, the Department is offering short-term grant funding for outpatient physical and behavioral health care providers looking to implement or expand access to care and treatment for mental health and substance use disorders using an evidence-based integrated care model. Practices awarded grants will participate in HCPF-led peer learning collaboratives with other grant recipients around the state designed to support the development of sustainable billing practices.
