Employers can serve as an information source, passing on important information from the CDC. In addition, employers should update policies that could come into play when employees fall ill and be prepared to address employees' questions. Consider the following: • FMLA and/or Other Sick Leave Policies. Policies should be reviewed to address the potential illness, and resulting absence from work, associated with a pandemic. • Discipline. What will you do if employees refuse to come to work because they are afraid of exposure? Will they be punished for job abandonment, or will exceptions be made? • Pay. If a workplace is closed, what portion of the workweek will be paid? What wages is the employer required to pay? • Staffing. At what point will you encourage employees to stay home or institute alternative work arrangements? What if staffing is drastically reduced? What duties may employees need to complete outside of their normal job description? What staff is “critical” and how will your business operate with an essential-staff-only crew? • Military. If employees are called up for service during a pandemic, what are the obligations under Federal and state law? • Scheduling. If the goal is to avoid crossing paths, should employees work on split schedules? Should some work from home? • Family Issues. If employees request leave to care for sick family members, what information are you allowed to request, and what information is off-limits? • Medical Examinations. Under what circumstances may an employer request medical examinations of employees who are well? Those who are returning from leave due to illness? What if employees insist on returning to work? The EEOC recently issued guidance to help employers stay compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act in response to issues raised by the H1N1 virus. (See www.eeoc.gov/facts/h1n1_flu.html). HR professionals should study this guidance and be prepared. • Leave Policies. Is there leave employees can use in such a situation? • Other Assistance. If employees need help dealing with the crisis, do you have an EAP or other counseling resources in place or readily available? • Discrimination.

  • 2013 Annual Report
    THANK YOU COLORADO COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS ANNUAL REPORT 2013 Thanks to you... DEAR FRIENDS The Coalition produced exceptional results in 2013 because of support, leadership, and collaboration among compassionate and dedicated organizations and individuals like you. To simply say we are thankful would understate the importance of our work and your role in it. We are profoundly grateful to you because you’ve enabled us to respond to more than 15,000 people who genuinely needed our help, and who themselves have valiantly worked to overcome the conditions that led to their homelessness. Four notable achievements stand out among our numerous programs and activities of 2013. We launched the new Fort Lyon Supportive Residential Community in Bent County, Colorado. It represents state and local efforts to re-purpose the former Fort Lyon Veterans Administration Hospital to meet the addiction recovery needs of homeless individuals from across Colorado, with an emphasis on homeless veterans. We began to secure financing for Renaissance at North Colorado Station, a new, mixed-income housing development in the Clayton neighborhood in Denver. Once complete, the transit-oriented project will include 103 apartment homes for homeless individuals and families and for those lower-income households in the community seeking affordable housing. To simply say we are thankful would understate the importance of our work and your role in it. 2 Residential instability increases risks for serious health problems, exacerbates existing illness, complicates treatment, and often exposes persons to further traumatization. In response, we pilot-tested a new integrated model of care at our West End Health Center to better meet the complex and specialized physical and behavioral health concerns of those we care for.

This 2014 annual report is filled with recent accomplishments, Inew partnerships, and personal profiles showcasing the Foundation’s successes and achievements. CWEF is pleased to document its impact, value, accountability, as well as taking a moment to express its deep gratitude to our supporters, donors, sponsors, volunteers, and scholarship recipients. The board of directors are pleased to share three of the most significant endeavors accomplished by the Foundation during this past fiscal year. CWEF Brochure CWEF has created a contemporary and informative brochure featuring the Foundation’s new logo and color scheme. We believe this beautiful professionally designed trifold brochure does an excellent job of conveying CWEF’s story including its mission, a brief history, and its accomplishments. As a highly effective promotional tool, the brochure will be distributed in mailings, at meetings and conferences, nonprofit forums, and fundraising events, as well as by its inclusion on the website. Board of Directors’ Manual CWEF realizes its board of directors sets the tone and direction of the Foundation and that creating and maintaining an effective board is a continual process requiring recruitment, engagement, and development. CWEF’s current board fulfilled a vital necessity for an updated instrument by developing a new Board of Directors’ Manual (BODM). This BODM includes general operating procedures and new board member recruitment steps and methods, as well as outlining CWEF’s governance, organization, and policies. As a result, CWEF is now better prepared to operate at its fullest capacity through effective board leadership and governance.
