The Mission Supports Program, a unique and long-standing Denver resource for individuals with intellectual and development disabilities (I/DD) who are experiencing housing instability, helps to identify those who may qualify for disability benefits, walks them through the eligibility process required to access Colorado’s Home and Community-Based programs, supports in accessing the appropriate wraparound services available through RMHS, and connects them with the individualized support they need to pursue a future away from homelessness.
