This project page offers transparency and engagement opportunities in our Contracting and Process Improvement Phase.</p><h2>Our Two-Pronged Approach</h2><p>The Division has devised a comprehensive two-pronged strategy to achieve the Executive Order&#39;s goal:</p><ul><li><strong>Streamlining and Strengthening Application Processes</strong>: Our efforts focus on simplifying and reinforcing application processes to eliminate delays and bottlenecks, ensuring a smoother experience for all stakeholders.</li><li><strong>Clarifying and Setting Contract Loan Templates</strong>: We recognize the importance of clear contract loan templates in expediting processes and maintaining consistency. Enhancing this aspect will facilitate more efficient decision-making.</li></ul><p>These two targeted areas have been identified as the primary contributors to extended timelines and variability in grant and loan processes. Our commitment to addressing these challenges underscores our dedication to serving the community effectively and efficiently.</p><h2>Building Upon a Strong Foundation</h2><p>Our current efforts build upon the foundation laid during the 2022 Rapid Improvement Event, where we focused on internal processes and needs. This event provided the necessary momentum to propel DOH toward fulfilling the directives outlined in Governor Polis&#39; Executive Order.</p><h2>Transparency and Engagement</h2><p>As we continue on this path of progress, we invite you to stay engaged with this project site for regular updates, milestones, and opportunities for active participation. Your involvement is crucial as we work together to enhance transparency and better serve our community.</p>
