As organized by the Colorado State Recovery Task Force, DOLA is lead for the Community Assistance RSF, while fulfilling supportive roles for the Economic and Housing RSFs. DOLA’s Division of Housing (DOH) is lead for the Housing RSF, while the Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) is lead for the Economic RSF. In collaboration with DOH and OEDIT, the CRO strives to advertise and update resilient recovery resources across these three RSFs to support local governments with pre and post disaster recovery. Some of these resources have originated from recovery partners within Colorado, while others were developed by organizations outside of the state.
Additionally, you can learn more about recovery support functions by visiting FEMA’s Recovery Support Functions Website.
